Question

In a survey of 2000 people who owned a certain type of​ car, 1300 said they would buy that type of car again. What percent of the people surveyed were satisfied with the​ car?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Would buy again customers are people satisfied.

Therefore we have

satisfied overall people surveyed

In numbers, this looks like

1300/2000

Simplifying we get

13/20

If you use a calculator then you can input this equation. However, if you want to be big-brained you can use simple math to get the decimal answer fast.

13/20 = (13•5)/(20•5) = 65/100 = 0.65

But if you need a percent value then you are not done!

0.65 is not a percent. To get a percent you multiply your fraction or decimal by 100. Therefore we get 0.65•100 = 65%

65% of people would buy the car again. Therefore 65% of people are satisfied with that car.

Answer 2

65%

Explanation:

65% of 2,000 = 1300
