| Go to Item 1 | Go to Item 2 | Go to Item 3 | Go to Item 4 |
| Item 1: What percent of the sales were Sport Utility vehicles? |
|
The percent of Sport Utility vehicles sold can be obtained by dividing the number of Sport Utility vehicles sold by the total number of vehicles sold. The total is 60 (add all the numbers together to get this).
Sport Utility vehicles make up 33.33% of the total sales.
| Item 2: What percent of the sales were Minivans? |
|
The percent of Minivans vehicles sold can be obtained by dividing the number of Minivans vehicles sold by the total number of vehicles sold. The total is 60.
Minivans make up 8.33% of the
total sales.
| Item 3: If the amount of Trucks sold increased to the amount of Sedans sold, what percent increase would this be from the 10 originally sold? |
|
If the number of Trucks sold (initially 10) increased to the number of Sedans sold (15), there would be an increase from 10 to 15. This is an increase of five sales. To calculate the percent increase, we take the amount of the increase over the initial amount of Trucks, and multiply by 100.
Therefore, there would be a 50% sales
increase in Trucks if the amount sold jumped from ten
to fifteen.
| Item 4: What is the ratio of number of Sedans sold to number of Minivans sold? |
|
The ratio of Sedans sold to Minivans sold is:
So the ratio is 3/1.
