There are 39 motorcycles and cars they have a total of 138 wheels how many cars are there?
ZirconTeo
Sorry the last answer posted was incorrect.
x = number of motorcycles
y = number of cars
x + y = 39 (total number of motorcycles & cars)
2x + 4y = 138 (total number of wheels; motorcycles -2 , cars -4)
You need to solve these 2 equations together, I used the elimination method:
multiply the 1st equation by 4 and subtract the 2nd equation from it:
4*(x+y=39) --> 4x + 4y = 156
2x + 4y = 138
--------------------------------------------
2x = 18
x = 9
Substitute x=9 into 1st equation & solve for y to find the number of cars, in this case it will be 30 cars.

To find the percentage value in a Frequency table you have to divide each frequency value by the total amount of the sample. For example, if you have 40 cars in a race, and you want to know what is the percentage of the cars that is going 65 mph you then check to see out of 40 cars how many cars are going 65 mph if I look and there is 5. Five would be my frequency for all the cars going 65 mph, so I Would divide 5 by 40 and then I would get a percentage of 12.5.
