Question

The 14 compact cars sold by a dealer on Monday was 56% of the cars sold that day.

step by step please

Answer 1

the 14 cars sold = 56% of total car stock

how many cars (noted n) for 100 % ?

14.............56%

n..............100%

n x 56% = 14 x 100%

n = 14 : 0,56

n = 25

total cars in stock : 25

56% were sold

so 25 x 56% = 14 have been sold
