An automobile dealership has found that for every 170 cars​ sold, 22 will be brought back to the dealer for major repairs. If the dealership sells 1360 cars this​ year, approximately how many cars will be brought back for major​ repairs?

Answer 1

To find out how many cars will be brought back for major repairs when 1360 cars are sold, we can set up a proportion using the given information.

Let x = number of cars brought back for major repairs when 1360 cars are sold

170 cars sold -> 22 brought back for repairs
1360 cars sold -> x cars brought back for repairs

170/22 = 1360/x

Cross multiplying, we get:
170x = 22 * 1360
170x = 29920
x = 29920/170
x ≈ 176

Therefore, approximately 176 cars will be brought back for major repairs when the dealership sells 1360 cars this year.
