Question

Keith collects vintage Hot Wheels®. He came home with 60 new cars and sold 45% of them at an antique mall. How many Hot Wheels cars were sold? A

A 24 cars were sold
B 30 car were sold
C 27 cars were sold
D 32 cars were sold

Answer 1

B.) 32 car were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given data inputs P% = 45%, X= 60

We need to figure out the value of Y i.e. result obtained on subtracting 60 minus 45%

Substitute the given inputs in the formula i.e. Y= X(1-P%)

On substituting we get the data as under Y =60(1-45%)

Determine the value of 45% in decimal by simply dividing with 100 i.e. 45/100 =0.45

Replace the decimal value in terms of 45% in the equation.

Thus, we get the equation as Y = 60(1-0.45)

On simplifying it further by performing basic maths operations we get Y =60(0.55)

Finally, we get the value of Y as 32

Therefore 60 minus 45% is 32

Answer 2

The answer is C) 27 cars were sold
