In 2015, nearly seven out of every ten autos sold in a country was a crossover utility vehicle (CUV). If an auto dealership sold 4000 vehicles in total that year, how many of these sales would be expected to involve a CUV

Respuesta :

Answer:

2,800 CUV cars were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

7 out of 10 are CUV

Total sold are 4,000

Set them equal to each other:

[tex]\frac{7}{10}  = \frac{x}{4000}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

[tex]7 * 4,000 = 10*x[/tex]

[tex]28,000=10x[/tex]

Solve for x:

[tex]\frac{10x}{10} =\frac{28,000}{10}[/tex]

x = 2,800
