Car Sales Negotiated by Salespersons

What percentage of the sales of coupes were negotiated by Lydia?

A. 61.3%

B. 37.5%

C. 27.94%

D. 38.71%

Answer:

38.7%

Explanation:

Total of coupes sold is 0.31, and Lydia sold 0.12 of that.

0.12/0.31 · 100 = 38.7

Final answer:

Based on the two-way relative frequency table, 38.71% of the sales of coupes at the dealership were negotiated by Lydia.

Explanation:

To find the percentage of the sales of coupes that were negotiated by Lydia, we should look at the value in the 'Coupe' column under 'Lydia'. This value is 0.12, meaning Lydia was the sales person for 12% of all sales. However, this does not imply that she sold 12% of all coupes.

To find the percentage of coupes sold by Lydia, we will take Lydia's coupes sales (0.12) and divide them by the total coupes sales (0.31). Therefore, the percentage of coupes that Lydia sold is calculated as (0.12 / 0.31) * 100 = 38.71 %. This implies that 38.71% of the coupe cars sold in this dealership was negotiated by Lydia.
