Answer:

241250000 cars aren't diesel (Basically 96.5%)

Explanation:

250 million = 250000000

If we are talking about the percentage of cars that aren't diesel, we have two ways of solving this. (I'm gonna solve for not just percentage but for amount too)

1. Find out the percentage that isn't diesel by subtracting 3.5% from 100% and then multiplying the answer to get the result.

or

2. We find out what 3.5% of 250 million is and then subtract that from 250 million

Now to make this short, I will do the first one.

100-3.5 = 96.5

96.5% x 250,000,000 = 241250000
