Answer:

14,040

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the automobile company has given us the total manufactured amount we can multiple the total by the percentage in each car type to get our answer.

36,000 x 0.25 (Vans) = 9,000
36,000 x 0.14 (SUVs) = 5,040

This means that the automobile company has made 9,000 Vans and 5,040 SUVs. Which totally equals our answer of 14,040.
