Answer 1

What fraction of the cars sold during May were red when 8 red cars were sold, 9 blue, 15 silver, 4 green, 3 white, and 16 black?

Answer 2

So first you have to find the total amount of cars so add up each color

Answer 3

Your total number of cars should be 55 cars

Answer 4

Now you know you only have 8 red cars so put 8/55 is your answer. if you need to find a percent you would multiply 8 by 100 and divide it by 55 to get about 14.54%

Answer 5

Thank you so much!
