5% of the cars in the parking lot where red. if 16 cars in the parking lot were red, how many cars in the are in the parking lot

320

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C = the number of cars in the lot.

%of red cars = number of red cars/number of all cars × 100 %

  5 = 16/C × 100     Multiply each side by C

5C = 1600               Divide each side by 5

 C = 320

There were 320 cars in the parking lot.
