Last Friday​, a parking lot had 80 cars. Of those 80 ​cars, 35​% were blue​, 16 were brown​, and the rest were red. What percent of the cars were red​? What percent of the cars were red​? nothing​%

Answer 1

The 1st step in this is to find the number of blue cars. To find the number of blue cars, you multiply .35 * 80 = 28 blue cars.

Then you add 16 brown cars + 28 blue cars = 44 cars not red.

Then you need to do the following eqn: 80 cars (total) - 44 (not red) = 36 red cars

So, you numerical answer will be 36 red cars. The percent will be 36 red cars / 80 total cars = .45 = 45 %

The percent answer for the amount of red cars will be 45 %.
