that type of car again. What percent of the people surveyed were satisfied with the car?

Answer 1

30%

Explanation:

1.) subtract 3200 and 2240. Since you need to find the amount of people who were satisfied with the car.

2.) divide 960 and 3200. this is because you need to find the percent of people who were satisfied with the car.

Answer: 30%

Answer 2

The percentage satisfied with the purchase is 30%

The percentage who were satisfied can be calculated thus :

• (Difference/ Number surveyed ) × 100%

Difference = 3200 - 2240 = 960

Now we have :

(960 / 3200) × 100%

= 0.3 × 100%

= 30%

Hence, percentage who were satisfied is 30%
