We can write an equation of this, with p representing the unknown population. We know that 90% of the population owns cars:
90% * p
We also know that 4761 people own cars, which is the same as the above expression, so we write:
90% * p = 4761.
From there, you just divide both sides by 90%, or 0.9
p = 4761/0.9 = 5290
The population is 5290 people.
12 hours worth $87
1 hour would be $87/12 = $7.25
9 hours worth $65.25
1 hour would be $65.25/9 = $7.25
The constant of proportionality is $7.25 per hour.
