Question

Every white car in the Ela Motors car yard was a Toyota Twin Cab. Half of all the red cars were Toyota Twin Cab. Half of all Toyota Twin Cabs were white. There are 40 red cars and 30 white cars. How many Toyota Twin Cabs are not white or red?

Answer 1

The number of Toyota Twin Cabs that are not white or red is 10, derived from processing the provided information about car colors and quantities.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how many Toyota Twin Cabs are not white or red, we need to consider each piece of information provided. First, we know that every white car is a Toyota Twin Cab. That gives us 30 white Toyota Twin Cabs since there are 30 white cars. Second, half of all the red cars are Toyota Twin Cabs. Since there are 40 red cars, that means 20 of them are Toyota Twin Cabs. It is also stated that half of all Toyota Twin Cabs were white. If 30 white cars are Toyota Twin Cabs, there must be an equal number of Toyota Twin Cabs that are not white, making a total of 60 Toyota Twin Cabs. Having 30 white and 20 red Toyota Twin Cabs, we subtract this number (50) from the total of Toyota Twin Cabs (60) to find the number of Toyota Twin Cabs that are neither white nor red.

In conclusion, 60 - 50 = 10 Toyota Twin Cabs are neither white nor red.
