c. 30

d. 40

e. 60

f. 80

g. 100

h. 120

i. 140

j. none of these

Answer 1

First we need to find out what percent of the cars are red. Add up the total cars. The total is 180.

Now find the percentage.

50 (red cars) / 180 (total cars)

27.7777%

Now multiply that by 360 (degrees in a circle)

You get 100.

Answer 2

G.100 degrees

50 is 27% of 180. so 27% of 360 is 99.9999999 (aka 100)..so 100 degrees.

Answer 3

G. 100


50/180 = .27777 (i.e. the red cars make up 27.7777% of the lot)

Now to figure out what is 27.7777% of 360 degrees...
.27777 *360 = 100

Answer 4

360*50/(50+60+40+20+10)
