An automobile dealership has found that for every 180 cars​ sold, 24 will be brought back to the dealer for major repairs. If the dealership sells 1620 cars this​ year, approximately how many cars will be brought back for major​ repairs?

1 answer

To find out approximately how many cars will be brought back for major repairs, we first need to find the ratio of cars brought back for repairs to cars sold.

Ratio of cars brought back for repairs to cars sold = 24 / 180 = 0.1333

Now, we can use this ratio to estimate the number of cars that will be brought back for major repairs when 1620 cars are sold.

Approximate number of cars brought back for repairs = 0.1333 * 1620 = 215.646

Therefore, approximately 216 cars will be brought back for major repairs when 1620 cars are sold.
