Question

Henry saw 28 blue, 16 red and 24 white cars drive by his house in 1 hour. What percent of the cars were blue? (Round answer to the nearest percent)

A. 24%
B. 65%
C. 41%
D. 35%​

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

The percentage is calculated as

% =
`(blue)/(total)` × 100%

Total number of cars = 28 + 16 + 24 = 68

number of blue cars = 28, then

% blue =
`(28)/(68)` × 100% = 41% ( to the nearest percent )
