To determine the number of households with VCRs in 1993, we need to first find the number of households with VCRs in 1990.
Given that the number of households with VCRs in 1990 was about 87.5% of the number with VCRs in 1993, we can use the following equation:
Number of households with VCRs in 1990 = 87.5% (or 0.875) * Number of households with VCRs in 1993
Let's assume the number of households with VCRs in 1993 is X.
Therefore, the number of households with VCRs in 1990 is 0.875 * X.
To find X, we can set up the equation as follows:
0.875 * X = Number of households with VCRs in 1990
Now, we can substitute the value we know into the equation:
0.875 * X = 87.5% of the number with VCRs in 1993
Next, we can solve for X:
X = (87.5% of the number with VCRs in 1993) / 0.875
Simplifying further:
X = (0.875 * Number of households with VCRs in 1993) / 0.875
The 0.875 on the numerator and denominator cancel out:
X = Number of households with VCRs in 1993
Hence, the number of households with VCRs in 1993 is the same as X, since we set it up that way. Therefore, to determine the approximate number of households with VCRs in 1993, we need to know the estimated number of households with VCRs in 1990.
oh sorry!! There's a table with it probably why I didn't understand it.
