Question

In a recent survey of 1,050 people, 42 said that their favorite color of car was red. What percent of the people surveyed liked red cars?

Answer 1

In order to calculate the percentage of surveyed people that liked red cars, we need to divide this amount of people by the total amount of people surveyed.

So we have:

`p=(42)/(1050)=0.04=4\text{\%}`

Therefore the percent of the people surveyed that liked red cars is 4%.
