Question

The weight distribution of a vehicle specifies that the front whheels carry 54% of the weight. If a certain vehicle weighs 3860 lb, what weight is carried by the front wheels? (Round to the nearest pound.)

Answer 1

We will have that the front wheels of the car would carry the following weight:

`w=(3860\cdot54)/(100)\Rightarrow w=(10422)/(5)\Rightarrow w=2080.4\Rightarrow w\approx2080`

So, the front wheels carry approximately 2080 Lb of the total weigth.
