Question

A ferry has 82 cars on board. This is about 64% of all the vehicles on board. Approximately how many vehicles are on board the ferry?

Answer 1

Answer:

131

Step-by-step explanation:

because 82 is only 64% of the cars, we can assume that we got this number by multiplying the total number of vehicles by .64. so, to get the total number of vehicles, we simply devide 82 by .64, which gives us 131.25. since we can't have .25 of a vehicle, we round down to 131.

Answer 2

Answer:

128.125

Step-by-step explanation:

64%=64/100

64/100 = 82 cars

1 = 82÷64/100

=82×100/64

=41×25/8

=1025/8

=128.125
