Final answer:
To determine the percentage of SUVs on the Stafford Motors lot, the total number of vehicles was first calculated (56 vehicles), then the number of SUVs (14) was divided by the total number of vehicles and multiplied by 100%, resulting in 25% of the vehicles being SUVs.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percentage of SUVs on the lot at Stafford Motors, we'll first determine the total number of vehicles. We add up 7 pickup trucks, 7 two-door automobiles, 28 four-door automobiles, and 14 SUVs. This gives us a total of:
- 7 + 7 + 28 + 14 = 56 vehicles
Next, we'll calculate the percentage that the 14 SUVs constitute of the total 56 vehicles on the lot using the following formula:
Percentage of a category = (Number of items in the category / Total number of items) × 100%
Thus, the percentage of SUVs is:
(14 SUVs / 56 total vehicles) × 100% = 25%
Therefore, 25% of the vehicles on the lot at Stafford Motors are SUVs.
