Question

2. Millard Gunderson, the owner of the Rags to Stitches clothing store, watched as 2 trucks and 6 cars parked just outside of his shop. What percentage of the total vehicles that parked near his store were trucks? What percentage wore cars?

Answer 1

Total number of vehicles parked near his store = 2 + 6 = 8

Percentage of the vehicles that were trucks =

`=\frac{Number\text{ of trucks}}{\text{total number of vehicles }}*100`
`=(2)/(8)*100\text{ percent}`

= 25%

Percentage that were cars =

`=\frac{Number\text{ of cars }}{\text{total number of vehicles}}*100\text{ percent}`
`=(6)/(8)*100\text{ percent}`

= 75%
