Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find a percentage of a number, we first convert the percentage to a decimal. We know that $0.75\%=\frac{0.75}{100}=0.0075$.

Step2: Calculate the number of cars

We use the formula $(\text{percentage as decimal})\times(\text{total number of cars})$. So we calculate $0.0075\times800$.
