how many vehicles did he sell?

Question

Mr.Redding sells vehicles to 20% of the people that come to the sells lot. If 65 people came to the lot last month, how many vehicles did he sell?

Answer 1

"Of" implies multiplication. Convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply it with the total amount of people Mr. Redding saw at his lot. If the result has a decimal, round up to the next whole number because people usually purchase whole vehicles (not pieces.).
