Question

A.

B.
55 cars per month
C.
53 cars per month
D.
54 cars per month

Answer 1

To find the rate at which the dealership sold cars per month, we can divide the total number of cars sold by the number of months:

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Total cars sold}}{\text{Number of months}} = \frac{159 \text{ cars}}{3 \text{ months}} = 53 \text{ cars per month} \]

Therefore, the answer is:

C. 53 cars per month
