Question

95% of people in my street have a car. There are 160 people in my street. how many do not have a car?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 people on your street do not have a car.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that 95% of people have a car. There are 160 people on your street and your are trying to find out how many people do not have a car.

If 95% of people have a car, then 100% - 95% of people, or 5% of people, do not have a car. Using this we can find how many of the 160 people on your street do not have a car. To do this, we would multiply the percent of people who do not have a car (5%, or 0.05) by the number of people on your street (160).

5% × 160 = 0.05 × 160 = 8

8 people on your street do not have a car.

I hope this helps. :)
