Question

An automobile dealership has found that for every 170 cars sold, 26 will be brought back to the dealer for major repairs. If the dealership sells 1360 cars this year, approximately how many cars will be brought back for major repairs?

Answer 1

208 Cars will be brought back for major repairs.

Explanation:

With the simple calculation of:

`(170)/(1360)(26)/(x)`

We are solving for x.

We cross-multiply 1360 by 26.

35,360

Then divide that by 170.

which will get us the result of 208.
