85% of all cars sold in chicago are some color other than black. if three hundred black cars were sold in chicago, how many cars were sold there?
Show all work please
of 85% of cars sold where not black then 100-85% where black = 15% let the number of cars sold be y then 15%*y=300 y= 300 divided by 15% = (300*100)/15 =2000 therefore 2000 cars were sold
