A survey of the 4707 vehicles on the campus of State University yielded the following circle graph.
A pie graph is divded like this: 10% motorcycles; covertibles is 15%; 7% vans; 6% sedans; 26% pickups; 36% hatchbacks.
Find the number of convertibles, showing steps. Round your result to the nearest whole number.
Do I take 4707 * .15= 706.06 Rounded to 706 convertibles.
706.05 rounds to 706. Even with a small error in multiplication, it still rounds to 706.

To find the number of convertibles, you need to calculate 15% of the total number of vehicles on campus. Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Start with the total number of vehicles on campus: 4,707.
2. Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100: 15% = 0.15.
3. Multiply the total number of vehicles by the decimal form of the percentage: 4,707 * 0.15 = 706.05.
4. Since you're asked to round your result to the nearest whole number, round 706.05 to 706 convertibles.
Therefore, the number of convertibles on campus is 706.
