b) 44%
c) 37%
d) 100%

Answer 1

To find the percent of houses sold in Vindale, divide the number of houses sold in Vindale by the total number of houses sold in Hancock County and multiply by 100. The correct answer is Option C) 37%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent of houses sold in Vindale, we need to calculate the ratio of houses sold in Vindale to the total number of houses sold in Hancock County and then multiply by 100.

The total number of houses sold in Hancock County is

730 + 150 + 570 + 550 = 2000.

The number of houses sold in Vindale is 730, so the percent of houses sold in Vindale is

(730 / 2000) * 100 = 36.5%.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C) 37%.
