Question

The manager at a car dealership determines that an average of 120 vehicles is sold each month. If 2 out of 3 vehicles sold are SUVs, how many SUVs are sold each month?

Answer 1

Calculating 2/3 of the total 120 vehicles sold per month results in 80 SUVs being sold monthly at the dealership.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the manager at a car dealership determines that an average of 120 vehicles are sold each month and that 2 out of every 3 vehicles sold are SUVs, we can calculate how many SUVs are sold each month. First, we find the fraction of the total vehicles sold that are SUVs, which is 2/3. Then, we multiply this fraction by the total number of vehicles sold to find the number of SUVs.

To find the number of SUVs sold each month, we perform the following calculation:

1. Multiply the fraction of SUVs (2/3) by the total vehicles sold per month (120).
2. The calculation will look like this: (2/3) × 120 vehicles.
3. Simplify the expression to find the number of SUVs sold.

Now, performing the calculation:

(2/3) × 120 = 80 SUVs

Therefore, on average, 80 SUVs are sold each month.
