Question

In a survey of 2100 people who owned a certain type of car, 1155 said they would buy that type of car again. What percentage of the people surveyed were satisfied with the car?

Option 1: 55%
Option 2: 53%
Option 3: 52%
Option 4: 54%

Answer 1

The percentage of people surveyed who were satisfied with their car is calculated by dividing the number of satisfied customers (1155) by the total number of people surveyed (2100) and then multiplying by 100. The resulting percentage is 55%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percentage of the people surveyed who were satisfied with their car, we need to divide the number of people who said they would buy the car again by the total number of people surveyed, then multiply by 100 to convert it into a percentage.

Here is the step-by-step calculation:

1. Number of satisfied customers: 1155
2. Total number of people surveyed: 2100
3. Percentage of satisfied customers: (1155 / 2100) × 100

Performing the calculation, we get:

Percentage of satisfied customers = (1155 / 2100) × 100 = 55%

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1: 55% of the people surveyed were satisfied with the car.
