Answer:

C.   37.5%

In Walmart parking, there are 175 vehicles parked joe figures out that 64% of the vehicles are white. How many vehicles are NOT
aksik [14]

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
