211 out of 685 is approximately 30% of the total... personally I would say about 1/3. (You can find this out by dividing 211 by 685 and you will get a decimal - - then move it over two places to the right and you now have a percentage to work with.)
Knowing that... 2/3 of the vehicles are left - - -so they must be sedans or sports cars if they are not minivans. Signed... previous Math teacher |
