Answer:

c. 273 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find what 16% of 325 is

325x.16=52

because the number sold dropped by 16% you will subtract 52 from 325

325-52=273

you can also calculate the answer by subtracting 100% by 16%

100%-16%=84%

now you can calculate 84% of 325

325x.84=273
