PARKING LOT In a parking lot, 16% of the cars are blue. There are 4 blue cars in the parking lot. How many cars in the parking lot are not blue?

Respuesta :

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of cars in the parking lot = x.

Since, it is given that 16% of the total cars are blue and there are total 4 blue cars.

So, we get,

16% of x = 4

i.e. 0.16x = 4

i.e. [tex]x=\frac{4}{0.16}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]x=\frac{400}{16}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]x=\frac{100}{4}[/tex]

i.e. x = 25

Thus, there are total 25 cars in the parking lot.

So, the number of non-blue cars = 25 -4 = 21.

Hence, there are 21 non-blue cars.
