Question

Suppose that, in 1992, England produced 6.261 million computers. The total world production that year totaled 76 million computers. What percent of the world's total production of computers is contributed by England? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

8.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of computers produced by England in 1992 = 6.261 million

Total number of computers produced worldwide in 1992 = 76 million

Fraction of the total computers produced by England in 1992 = $\[\frac{6.261}{76}\]$

$\[= \frac{6.261}{76}\]$

$\[= 0.08238\]$

Expressing in percentage terms and rounding off to tenth place ,

8.2%
