Question

A car dealership’s annual sales report shows 768 vehicles were sold last year. The report revealed that 48 out of every 64 vehicles sold were SUVs. Based on the results of the report, how many of the vehicles sold were not SUVs?

Answer 1

Given:

768 vehicles sold,

48 SUVs and 16 other cars sold.

To Find:

how many vehicles sold were not SUVs.

Solution:

We can solve this using a simple mathematical process.

First, we will take the direct ratio and will cross multiply the equation.

48/64 = X/768

let X = no of SUVs sold

3/4 = X/768

Therefore, X = 576

Other cars = 768 - 576 = 192

Hence, 192 cars are not SUVs for every 768 cars sold.
