24.5% are buses:
98/400=0.245
you multiply that by 10 to get the percentage.

Answer: 24.5% of the vehicles are buses

Explanation: We know that 400 vehicles passed the intersection, so 400 vehicles are the 100% in this scenario.

Now, 98 of those vehicles are busses, and this is associated with an X%

Then, the ratios between the numbers and the associated percents must be equal, this means that:

X%/100% = 98/400

x% = (98/400)*100% = 24.5%

So 24.5% of the vehicles are buses
