Question

choose the values from each drop down list to complete the inventory table.

q. a hardware store rents lawn mowers, snow blowers, and generators. calculate the missing information in the inventory table.

\

$$\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|} \\hline \\text{type of machinery} & \\text{number owned by the store} & \\text{number available for rent} & \\text{percent available for rent} \\\\ \\hline \\text{lawn mowers} & 75 & 30 & 40\\% \\\\ \\hline \\text{snow blowers} & 80 & 62 & 80\\% \\\\ \\hline \\text{generators} & 125 & \\text{select one} & 75.2\\% \\\\ \\hline \\end{tabular}$$

options for generators (number available for rent):

• 82
• 88
• 94

Explanation:

Calculate Lawn mowers owned

$$ \text{Number Owned} = \frac{\text{Number Available}}{\text{Percent Available}} = \frac{30}{0.40} = 75 $$

Calculate Snow blowers percent available

$$ \text{Percent Available} = \frac{\text{Number Available}}{\text{Number Owned}} \times 100\% = \frac{62}{80} \times 100\% = 77.5\% \approx 78\% \text{ or } 80\% \text{ (from options)} $$

$$ \frac{62}{80} = 0.775 = 77.5\% $$

Calculate Generators available

$$ \text{Number Available} = \text{Number Owned} \times \text{Percent Available} = 125 \times 0.752 = 94 $$

Answer:

Type of Machinery	Number Owned by the Store	Number Available for Rent	Percent Available for Rent
Snow blowers	80	62	77.5% (or 80% from dropdown)
Generators	125	94	75.2%
