28, 25, 30, 22, 16, 41, 35, 18, 52, 35
What is the percentage of these cars with a fuel efficiency less than 19 mpg?

Answer 1

20%

Explanation:

Cars that are less than 19 mpg : 16, 18

2 cars have less than 19 mpg.

2/10 cars have less than 19 mpg.

divide the numerator by the denominator, then multiply the decimal by 100

2/10 = 0.2

0.2*100 = 20
