Question

if 24 compact car represent 12% of the cars made this week. What was the total number of cars made this week?

Answer 1

Given Data:

Total number of compact cars made is: n=24

The persentage of cars made this week is: 12%

The 12% of 24 will be the total number of cars made this week.

Let 'x' be the total number of cars made this week.

`x=n*(12)/(100)`

Substitute valeus in the above expression.

`\begin{gathered} x=24*(12)/(100) \\ =24*0.12 \\ =2.88 \\ \approx3\text{ cars} \end{gathered}`

Thus, approximately 3 cars are made in a week.
