Answer 2

The percentage of people surveyed that were satisfied with the car is 55%.

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%
