Question

Eric conducted a survey of the cars in four parking lots and wrote the following observations:Based on the survey, which parking lot had the greatest percentage of blue cars?

Answer 1

Last option Parking lot (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In this question we will find out the percentage of blue cars first and then evaluate the percentage. Greatest percentage will be the answer.

For parking lot (1)

Percentage of blue cars =
`(Number of blue cars)/(Total number of cars)*100`

`=(15)/(36)*100`

`=(1500)/(36)=41.67`

For parking lot (2)

Percentage of blue cars
`=(43)/(92)*100=46.74`

For parking lot (3)

Percentage of blue cars
`=(12)/(30)*100=40`

For parking lot (4)

Percentage of blue cars
`=(32)/(52)*100=64`

Now it's clear to us that in parking lot (4) percentage of blue cars is greatest.
