Answer:
36%
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of cars is 50 and 18 were manufactured before 1945
Let's set up a fraction
18/50
A percent should be out of 100 so let's change the denominator to 100
18/50 (times 2 for 18 and 50 to get 50 to 100)= 36/100
36/100 is 36%
OR
divide 18 by 50 because the fraction line is like a division symbol
that equals 0.36, times 100 to get 36%
