Question

In a survey of 3,000 people who owned a certain type of​ car, 1,200 said they would buy that type of car again. What percent of the people surveyed were satisfied with the​ car?

Answer 1

The answer is 55% because 1,100 is 55% of 2,000

Explanation:

The statement indicates that in a survey 1,100 people of 2,000 surveyed said that they would buy the car they have again and from this, you can inferred that they are satisfied with the car. So, to calculate the percentage of people surveyed that were satisfied with the car you have to divide 1,100 by 2,000 that is the total number of people surveyed and then, multiply the result by 100:

1,100/2,000=0.55*100= 55%
