In the last year, U.S. car sales of all makes and models have dropped by 16%. Let's say that a car dealer sells 325 cars. If this number drops by 16%, how many cars will the dealer sell then? Round to the nearest whole number.
A 203 cars
B 309 cars
C 273 cars
D 256 cars


Answer :

Answer:

c. 273 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find what 16% of 325 is

325x.16=52

because the number sold dropped by 16% you will subtract 52 from 325

325-52=273

you can also calculate the answer by subtracting 100% by 16%

100%-16%=84%

now you can calculate 84% of 325

325x.84=273
