Question

The art club held a car wash on Saturday and Sunday. They washed a total of 50 cars. If they washed 30% of the cars on Sunday, how many cars did they wash on Sunday?

Answer 1

If I did my math correctly, They washed 15 cars on Sunday.

Explanation:

50 cars = 100%

Therefore 1 car would be 2% because 50 is half of 100.

So because 30% would be 2 times the amount of cars, we divide 30 by 2, giving us 30% = 15 cars on Sunday

With this information, we can take away 15 from 50 giving us 35 cars which is equal to 70% on Saturday

Here is some extra data:

10% = 5 cars

20% = 10 cars

30% = 15 cars

40% = 20 cars

50% = 25 cars

60% = 30 cars

70% = 35 cars

80% = 40 cars

90% = 45 cars

100% = 50%

Basically, every 10% is +5 cars
