Question

There are approximately 15000 red cabs in Hong Kong. This represents approximately 80% of the total taxis. Find the total number of taxis in Hong Kong

Answer 1

Answer:

15300 taxis

Step-by-step explanation:

% of red cabs = 80%

% of other taxis = (100 - 80)% = 20%

no. of red cabs = 15000

no. other taxis = (20% of 15000) = (20/100 x 15000)

                        = 300 [after cancellations]

total no. of taxis = (15000 + 300) = 15300

So, ans is 15300
