The answer to your question is 1 and 1/2
with y equaling the total and x equaling the number if months
For this, no math is even needed! The question says 1,000 people were interviewed. 42% percent of that 1,000 owns an SUV. If it's a percent, it is 42/100, right? Now we have to make that 42/100 out of 1000. We add a zero to the 100 on the bottom (42/1000). We do the same thing on the top. Add a zero! 420.
SECOND POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Solve this with logic! 42% is nearly 50%. Half of 1,000 is 500. What is closest to 500? 420! This solution is even easier.
Hope this helps you!
