Question

Suppose that, in 2006 , Germany produced 17.069 million bikes. The total world production that year totaled 105 million bikes. What percent of the world's total production of bikes is contributed by Germany? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

To find the percent of the world's total production of bikes that is contributed by Germany, divide the number of bikes produced by Germany by the total world production and multiply by 100.

Percent contribution = (17.069 million / 105 million) * 100

Percent contribution = 0.1623 * 100

Percent contribution = 16.23

Rounded to the nearest tenth, Germany contributed 16.2% of the world's total production of bikes.
