Question

in a survey of 1,800 people who owned a certain type of car, 360 said they would buy that type of car again. What percent of the people surveyed were satisfied with the car?

Answer 1

The total of people is 1,800.

That means that 1,800 is 100%, and we need to find what percentage is 360.

For that, we follow the following procedure:

Divide 100% by the total of people (1800) and then multiply by the number of people you need to find the percentage of (360).

We will have the expression:

$\frac{100}{1800}\times360$

Solving the operations:

$\frac{100}{1800}\times360=20$

360 is 20% of 1,800.

Answer: 20%
