Answer:
63 vehicles are not white
Step-by-step explanation:
Well you know that there are 175 total vehicles, and that 64% of those vehicles are white. Therefore the remaining percentage of vehicles must not be white.
100%-64%=36%
This means that 36% of the vehicles aren't white.
Now you must find what 36% of 175 is. The word "of" always signals for multiplication, which is exactly what you need to do here. First start by converting the percentage into decimal form:
36%=0.36
Now you can multiply
175 x 0.36 = 63
63 Vehicles are not white
Let there be 2x science and 5x art books
<span>science books sold = 2x × 0.2 = 0.4x </span>
<span>science books unsold = 2x – 0.4x = 1.6x </span>
<span>art books sold = 5x × 0.2 = x </span>
<span>art books unsold = 5x – x = 4x </span>
<span>total books unsold = 1.6x + 4x = 5.6x </span>
<span>5.6x = 2240 </span>
<span>x = 400 </span>
<span>2x science = 800 </span>
<span>and 5x art books = 2000 </span>
