An automobile dealership has found that for every 210 cars​ sold, 20 will be brought back to the dealer for major repairs. If the dealership sells 1050 cars this​ year, approximately how many cars will be brought back for major​ repairs?

Answer 1

To find the approximate number of cars that will be brought back for major repairs, we need to use a proportion based on the information given.

Let x be the number of cars brought back for major repairs when 1050 cars are sold.

Therefore, the proportion can be set up as:

210/20 = 1050/x

Cross multiplying, we get:

210x = 1050 * 20
210x = 21000
x = 100

Therefore, approximately 100 cars will be brought back for major repairs when 1050 cars are sold.
