52 cars were built in the plant last month if that was 80% of the cars on order how many total cars were ordered

Answer 1

To find the total number of cars that were ordered, we can first calculate 100% of the cars built in the plant last month by using the following formula:

Total cars ordered = (Cars built last month / Percentage of cars built) * 100
Total cars ordered = (52 / 0.80) * 100
Total cars ordered = 65

Therefore, a total of 65 cars were ordered.
