"Percentage" is defined as a given part or amount in every hundred. It is a fraction with 100 as the denominator and is represented by the symbol "%".
The formula used to calculate percentage is given to be:
[tex]Percentage=\frac{Value}{Total\text{ }Value}\times100[/tex]From the question provided, we are given the following parameters:
[tex]\begin{gathered} Percentage=6 \\ Value=18 \end{gathered}[/tex]The number of hours the average driver spends on the road is the "Total Value" in the formula. If that is represented by V and we substitute the remaining values into the formula, we have it to be:
[tex]6=\frac{18}{V}\times100[/tex]Therefore, we can solve as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Multiply both sides of the equation by V:} \\ 6V=18\times100 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 6:} \\ V=\frac{18\times100}{6} \\ V=300 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the average Lexington driver spends 300 hours behind the wheel in 2016.
