Question

At a motorbike store, 20% of the motorbikes are Honda products and 1/9 of them are Vespa’s. If the store had exactly 270 motorbikes, how many of them are either Honda or Vespa made?

Answer 1

Answer:

84.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that at a motorbike store, 20% of the motorbikes are Honda products and 1/9 of them are Vespa's. The store had exactly 270 motorbikes.

Let us find 20% 270 to find number of Honda bikes.

$\text{Honda bikes}=270\times \frac{20}{100}$

$\text{Honda bikes}=270\times \frac{1}{5}$

$\text{Honda bikes}=54$

Therefore, there are 54 Honda bikes at the store.

Let us find 1/9 of 270 to find number of Vespa bikes.

$\text{Vespa bikes}=270\times \frac{1}{9}$

$\text{Vespa bikes}=30$

Therefore, there are 30 Vespa bikes at the store.

The number of either Honda or Vespa bikes would be sum of both type bikes.

$\text{Number of either Honda or Vespa bikes}=54+30$

$\text{Number of either Honda or Vespa bikes}=84$

Therefore, 84 of the total bikes are either Honda or Vespa made.
