Question

summarized below is the sale (in thousands) of the five best selling cars in 2008. what percent of the sales of these five cars was due to car A (red graph). ? ____% of the sales was due to car A(round to two decimal places as needed)

Answer 1

Car A = 132,000

Car B = 123,000

Car C = 93,000

Car D = 156,000

Car E = 124,000

Total sales of the cars is;

`132000+123000+93000+156000+124000=628000`

Thus, the percentage of the sales due to car A is;

`\begin{gathered} (132000)/(628000)*100 \\ =21.02\text{ \%} \end{gathered}`

21.02 % of the sales was due to car A (round to two decimal places)
