Question

A car dealership has been keeping detailed records of the colors of

cars sold during the current year. This chart shows the probabilities
for each color.
Colors of Cars Sold
silver = 23% white = 18% black = 15% other = 44%

What is the probability that a customer will purchase a silver or white car?

Answer 1

41% or 41/100

Explanation:

Since percentage (%) means out of 100 using fractions would be the easiest

18/100 + 23/100 = 41/100 or 41%

41/100 is non-reducible.

to check you did the right math, all percentages should equal 100

44/100 + 15/100 = 59/100

59/100 + 41/100 = 100/100

your answer is 41% or 41/100

hope this helps:)
