Question

A car dealership's annual sales report shows 768 vehicles were sold last year. The report revealed that 48 out of every 64 vehicles sold were SUVs. Based on the results of the report, how many of the vehicles sold were not SUVs?

Answer 1

`Others = 192`

Explanation:

Given

`Vehicles = 768`

`SUV = (48)/(64)` --- Proportion of SUV

Required

Determine the number of vehicles that are not SUV

First, we calculate the number of SUV by:

`SUVs= Proportion * Total\ Vehicles`

`SUVs= (48)/(64) * 768`

`SUVs= (3)/(4) * 768`

`SUVs= (3* 768)/(4)`

`SUVs= (2304)/(4)`

`SUVs= 576`

Vehicles that are not SUVs is then calculated as:

`Others = Total - SUVs`

`Others = 768 - 576`

`Others = 192`
