explain your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

Lot 4 since 61.5% is the highest percentage of blue cars of all lots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the percentage that each number of blue cars is in its parking lot.

percent = part/whole * 100%

15 of the 36 cars in lot 1 were blue

15/36 * 100% = 41.667%

43 of the 92 cars in lot 2 were blue

43/92 * 100% = 46.739%

12 of the 30 cars in lot 3 were blue

12/30 * 100% = 40%

32 of the 52 cars in lot 4 were blue

32/52 * 100% = 61.538%

Answer: Lot 4 since 61.5% is the highest percentage of blue cars of all lots.

Answer 2

Answer:

Parking Lot 4

Step-by-step explanation:

15÷36 x 100 = 41.666%

43÷ 92 x 100 = 46.739%

12 ÷ 30 x 100 = 40%

32÷ 52 x 100 = 61%

61% is the largest percentage out of all of them, therefore Parking Lot 4 ( 32 out the 52 cars) is the Parking Lot that has the greatest percentage of blue cars!
