a. 60%
b. 40%
c. 30%
d. 20%

Answer 1

60% of the 2,900 people surveyed were satisfied with their car, as calculated by dividing 1,740 by 2,900 and then multiplying by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question concerns the calculation of a percentage. To find the percent of people surveyed who were satisfied with their car, we take the number of people who said they would buy the car again and divide it by the total number surveyed, then multiply by 100 to get a percentage. In this case, 1,740 out of 2,900 people were satisfied.

The calculation would be: (1,740 / 2,900) × 100 = 60%

Therefore, the correct answer is 60%, which means that option a. 60% is the correct choice.
