Answer 1

The correct answer is:

45 cars.

Explanation:

Let x represent the total number of cars in Samuel's collection.

We know that 27 is 60% of the total. We write 60% of the total as 0.6x. Since this is 27, this gives us the equation

0.6x = 27

Divide both sides by 0.6:

0.6x/0.6 = 27/0.6

x = 45

Answer 2

Number of cars Samuel has = 27 * 100 / 60 = 45 Cars
