Question

car survey in a survey of 2,400 people who owned a certain type of car, 1,080 said they would buy that type of car again. what percent of the people surveyed were satisfied with the car?
□% of the people surveyed were satisfied with the car.
(type a whole number.)

Explanation:

Step1: Use the percentage formula

The formula for percentage is \( \text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\times100\%\). Here, the part is the number of people satisfied (\(1080\)) and the whole is the total number of people surveyed (\(2400\)).

Step2: Substitute values into the formula

Substitute \(1080\) for the part and \(2400\) for the whole: \( \text{Percentage}=\frac{1080}{2400}\times100\%\).
First, simplify \(\frac{1080}{2400}\). Divide numerator and denominator by \(120\), we get \(\frac{9}{20}\).
Then, \(\frac{9}{20}\times100\%=(9\times5)\% = 45\%\).

Answer:

\(45\)
