Answer:
45%
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We assume, that the number 2300 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 2300, so we can write it down as 100%=2300.
4. We know, that x% equals 1035 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1035.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2300
2) x%=1035
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=2300/1035
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 1035 is what percent of 2300
100%/x%=2300/1035
(100/x)*x=(2300/1035)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2222222222222*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2222222222222) to get x
100/2.2222222222222=x
45=x
x=45
1035 people said they would purchase the car again, so they are the people that were satisfied with it. Now, divide this number of people by the number of people who owned that type of car to find your percentage. Here is how you would do that:
1035 ÷ 2300= 0.45
0.45 × 100= 45%
Therefore, 45% of the people surveyed were satisfied.
