There are 50 cars on display at a car show. Of these,18 were manufactured before 1945. What percent of the cars were manufactured before 1945?

Respuesta :

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%
