imeanup · Answer

Required Percentage  = \frac{180}{540+180}*100=\frac{180}{720}*100=\frac{1}{4}*100=25 %

Ans B

manasi05 · Answer

cars with instate license plates=540
cars with out-of-state license plates=180
Total number of cars = 720

percent of the cars with out-of-state license plates = (cars with out-of-state license plates/Total number of cars)*100
180/720 *100 = 25%

IMO answer will be B

Solution

Given  
In this question, we are given that
 • In a certain parking lot, 540 cars have in-state license plates, while the remaining 180 have out-of-state license plates

To find  
We need to determine
 • The percent of the cars in the parking lot have out-of-state license plates

Approach and Working out  
Number of in-state cars = 540
Number of out-of-state cars = 180
 • Total number of cars = 540 + 180 = 720
• Hence, percentage of cars with out-of-state license plate = 180/720 * 100 = 25%

Thus, option B is the correct answer.

Correct Answer: Option B

In a certain parking lot, 540 cars have instate license plates, while
