Respuesta :

Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4= 75%

75% + 17%= 92%

100% - 92% = 8%

8% were bikes.

What is the percentage?

In mathematics, a percentage is a figure or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.

How to solve this problem?

First, you have to express 3/4 in percentage. Here, If we can multiply 3 and 4 by 25, we can get the percentage.

(3*25)/(4*25) = 75/100 i.e. 75%.

So, 75% were cars and 17% were buses.

Let x% be bikes.

So, we can write 75 + 17 + x = 100. We have to solve this equation to get the desired result.

Now, 75 + 17 + x = 100

i.e. 92 + x = 100

i.e. x = 100 - 92 = 8

Hence, 8% were bikes.
