2. If 4% of motorists on the New Jersey Turnpike leave at a certain exit and 5% of these go to one particular motel for lodging, out of every 10,000 motorists how many motorists may be expected to go to this motel?
A.2
B.10
C.20
D.100
E.200
0.04 * 10,000 = 400
0.05 * 400 = 20
To find out how many motorists may be expected to go to this motel, we need to calculate the product of the percentages.
First, let's find out how many motorists leave at the certain exit. We have 4% of 10,000 motorists, so we multiply 10,000 by 0.04:
10,000 × 0.04 = 400
Now, out of these 400 motorists, 5% go to the motel. We need to multiply 400 by 0.05:
400 × 0.05 = 20
Therefore, out of every 10,000 motorists, we can expect 20 motorists to go to this motel. So, the answer is C. 20.
