Answer 1

To start, think about how we calculate percentages; we take the total and multiply by the percentage:

 

total x 0.60 = 27 (the total number of cars, multiplied by 0.60 (for 60%) is 27 cars)

 

To solve for the total number of cars, we rearrange this equation:

 

total = 27/0.60 = 45 cars
