Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]Others = 192[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Vehicles = 768[/tex]

[tex]SUV = \frac{48}{64}[/tex] --- Proportion of SUV

Required

Determine the number of vehicles that are not SUV

First, we calculate the number of SUV by:

[tex]SUVs= Proportion * Total\ Vehicles[/tex]

[tex]SUVs= \frac{48}{64} * 768[/tex]

[tex]SUVs= \frac{3}{4} * 768[/tex]

[tex]SUVs= \frac{3* 768}{4}[/tex]

[tex]SUVs= \frac{2304}{4}[/tex]

[tex]SUVs= 576[/tex]

Vehicles that are not SUVs is then calculated as:

[tex]Others = Total - SUVs[/tex]

[tex]Others = 768 - 576[/tex]

[tex]Others = 192[/tex]
