Answer 1

Answer:

Number of cars on road in 2020 = 35,400 car

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Number of cars on road = 177,000

Decrease in cars on road in 2020 = 80%

Find:

Number of cars on road in 2020

Computation:

Number of cars on road in 2020 = Number of cars on road[1 - Decrease in cars on road in 2020]

Number of cars on road in 2020 = 177,000[1-80%]

Number of cars on road in 2020 = 177,000[1-0.80]

Number of cars on road in 2020 = 177,000[0.20]

Number of cars on road in 2020 = 35,400 car
