Final answer:
To find the percentage of people who were satisfied with the car, divide the number of satisfied owners (2,100) by the total surveyed (3,500) and multiply by 100, which equals 60% satisfaction rate.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has asked about calculating the percentage of people who were satisfied with a certain type of car, based on a survey.
To find this percentage, we use the formula for percentage: Percentage = (Part / Whole) × 100. In this case, the part is the number of people who said they would buy the car again (2,100) and the whole is the total number of people surveyed (3,500).
Percentage of people satisfied with the car = (2,100 / 3,500) × 100
Calculating the fraction we get:
Percentage of people satisfied with the car = 0.6 × 100
Percentage of people satisfied with the car = 60%
To find the percent of people who were satisfied with the car, we need to divide the number of people who said they would buy the car again by the total number of people surveyed, and then multiply by 100.
So, the percent satisfied is given by: (2100/3500) x 100 = 60%.
Therefore, 60% of the people surveyed were satisfied with the car.
