Question

In a survey of 2300 people who owned a certain type of​ car, 460 said they would buy that type of car again. What percent of the people surveyed were satisfied with the​ car?

Answer 1

20%

Step-by-step explanation

let's assume 100% = 2300

x% = 460

100% / x% = 2300/460

460x100/2300 = 20

the answer is 20%

Answer 2

The survey shows that 20% of the individuals were satisfied with the car.

Explanation:

• We are given that 2,300 people were surveyed.
• We are also given that 460 of those individuals would buy that car again.
• We need to find the percentage of individuals that were satisfied with the car.

When we need to find the percentage of a population, we can use the following formula:

• 
  `\displaystyle \frac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}} * 100`

We need to identify the part and the whole in this problem.

We are given that 2,300 people are surveyed, so this is the whole portion.

We are also given that 460 were satisfied, so this is the part portion.

Therefore, we can set up our fraction.

• 
  `\displaystyle (460)/(2300)`

Now, let's solve the percentage.

`\displaystyle (460)/(2300) * 100\\\\(2)/(100) * 100 = 20\%`

Therefore, of those surveyed, 20% of the individuals were satisfied with the car.
