Question

if 24 compact car represent 12% of the cars made this week. What was the total number of cars made this week?

Answer 1

Given Data:

Total number of compact cars made is: n=24

The persentage of cars made this week is: 12%

The 12% of 24 will be the total number of cars made this week.

Let 'x' be the total number of cars made this week.

$x=n\times\frac{12}{100}$

Substitute valeus in the above expression.

$\begin{gathered} x=24\times\frac{12}{100} \\ =24\times0.12 \\ =2.88 \\ \approx3\text{ cars} \end{gathered}$

Thus, approximately 3 cars are made in a week.
