Question

If Roberto estimated that 5 out 8 automobiles have sun roofs. If he sold 72 automobiles, how many do not have sun roofs?

Answer 1

If you would like to know how many automobiles do not have sun roofs, you can calculate this using the following steps:

5 * 72 = x * 8
x = 5 * 72 / 8
x = 45 automobiles have sun roofs

72 - 45 = 27 automobiles don't have sun roofs

The correct result would be 27 automobiles.
