Question

In a survey of 2,200 people who owned a certain type of​ car, 1,210 said they would buy that type of car again. What percent of the people surveyed were satisfied with the​ car?

Answer 1

55%

If 1,210 people would buy that type of car again, they were satisfied with it.

The fraction of people who were satisfied would be
`(1210)/(2200)`.

To find a percentage, we need to divide the top of the fraction by the bottom, then multiply by 100.

1210/2200 is equal to 0.55. This is the decimal form of the fraction, but we need the percentage.

0.55 x 100 is equal to 55.

The answer is 55%
