Question

A car dealership sells sedans and SUVs. In 2000, the ratio in which they were sold was 5:4. By 2010, the dealership had adjusted its inventory to a 2:7 ratio. If it sold 84 SUVs in 2010, how many sedans did it sell in 2000?

Answer 1

60 sedans

Explanation:

The computation of the number of sedans sold in 2000 is given below:

Given that

The ratio of sedans and SUV is 5:4

And, in 2010 its ratio is 2:7

Now in 2010, 84 SUVs sold

So

84 SUVS = 7

For total 9, it would be

= 84 × 9 ÷ 7

= 108 vehicles

Now the number of sedans is

= 108 × 5 ÷ 9

= 60 sedans
