Question

Car Survey In a survey of 2,200 people who owned a certain type of car, 1,320 said they would buy that type of car again. What percent of the people surveyed were satisfied with the car?

Answer 1

Percentage is expressed in terms of 100. We were told that out of 2200 people that were surveyed, 1,320 said they would buy that type of car again. This means that 1320 people were satisfied. Thus, the percent of the people surveyed were satisfied with the car would be

1320/2200 x 100

= 60%

60 percent of the people surveyed were satisfied with the car
