Answer 2

Answer:

Samuel has 45 toy cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of red cars = 27

Red cars make up 60 % of his collection

Let there be a total of ' x ' cars in is collection,

According to question,

60 % of x is 27

60 % * x = 27

$\frac{60}{100}$ * x = 27

60 x = 2700

Dividing both sides by 60

60 x / 60 = 2700 / 60

x = 45

Hence,

Samuel has 45 toy cars
