Answer 1

Answer:

The survey shows that $\blue{\bold{20\%}}$ of the individuals were satisfied with the car.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mapsto$We are given that 2,300 people were surveyed.

$\mapsto$We are also given that 460 of those individuals would buy that car again.

$\mapsto$We need to find the percentage of individuals that were satisfied with the car.

$\mapsto$When we need to find the percentage of a population, we can use the following formula:

$\red{\dfrac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}} \times 100}$

• We need to identify the part and the whole in this problem.
• We are given that 2,300 people are surveyed, so this is the whole portion.
• We are also given that 460 were satisfied, so this is the part portion.
• Therefore, we can set up our fraction.

$\longrightarrow$ $\displaystyle \dfrac{460}{2300}$

$\rightsquigarrow$ Now, let's solve the percentage.

$\begin{gathered} \implies \displaystyle \dfrac{460}{2300} \times 100\\\\ \implies \dfrac{2}{100} \times 100 = 20\%\end{gathered}$

$\hookrightarrow$ Therefore, of those surveyed, 20% of the individuals were satisfied with the car.
