Question

Fill in the blank in the following statement.

If a truck weighs

35​%

more than a​ car, then the​ truck's weight is​ _____% of the​ car's weight.

Answer 1

Let t = weight of the truck and c = weight of the car. If the truck weighs 35% more than the car,

t = c + .35c

t = 1.35c

If we switch to percent, the truck weight is 135% of the car weight.
