The police uses a speed gun to monitor one part of the highway. During one hour, 6 out of 25 cars were traveling above the speed limit. What percent of the cars were traveling above speed limit.

Respuesta :

24% of the cars were travelling above the speed limit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total cars monitored = 25

Cars traveling above the speed limit = 6

Percent of cars traveling above speed limit = [tex]\frac{Cars\ travelling\ above\ speed\ limit}{Total\ cars\ monitored}*100[/tex]

Percent of cars = [tex]\frac{6}{25}*100\\[/tex]

[tex]Percent\ of\ cars=\frac{600}{25}\\Percent\ of\ cars=24\%[/tex]

24% of the cars were travelling above the speed limit.
