Question

A used car lot sold 15 SUVs last month, along with 80 other vehicles. Considering this

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total number of vehicles sold.

15 SUVs were sold, and 80 others were sold

15+80

95

So, 95 vehicles were sold in total.

Now we can make a proportion

15 out of 95 vehicles were SUVs, and we can expect x out of 76 vehicles to be SUVs

15/95=x/76

Cross multiply

95*x=15*76

95x=1140

To solve for x, we need to get x by itself. Since x is being multiplied by 95, divide both sides by 95. This will cancel out the 95, and leave x isolated.

95x/95=1140/95

x=12

So, 12 out 76 vehicles should be SUVs
