Answer:

14 minivans

Explanation:

From the question

A total of 20 families participate in a car wash. Each family brings two cars.

Hence, the total number of cars brought to the car wash is:

20 × 2

= 40 cars.

Mr. Gonzales notices that 35% of the cars were minivans.

The number of minivans were washed is :

35% of the total number of cars

= 35/100 × 40

= 14 minivans

Hence, 14 minivans were washed
