5% of the cars in the parking lot where red. If 16 cars in the parking lot were red, how many cars in the are in the parking lot

320

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C = the number of cars in the lot.

%of red cars = number of red cars/number of all cars * 100 %

5 = 16/C * 100 Multiply each side by C

5C = 1600 Divide each side by 5

C = 320

There were 320 cars in the parking lot.

16=5%

100%=16*20

16*20=320
