Problema Solution
of the 1 500 000 alternative-fuel vehicles produced in the United States in 2008, 300,000 were sports utility vehicles. What percent of alternative-fuel vehicles were sport utility vehicles? what percent were other types of vehicles?
Answer provided by our tutors
300,000/1,500,000 = 3/15 = 0.2 or 20% were sports utility vehicles
if 20% out of 100% were sport vehicles the other type of vehicles are 100 - 20 = 80%.
