The weight distribution of a vehicle specifies that the front whheels carry 54% of the weight. If a certain vehicle weighs 3860 lb, what weight is carried by the front wheels? (Round to the nearest pound.)

Respuesta :

We will have that the front wheels of the car would carry the following weight:

[tex]w=\frac{3860\cdot54}{100}\Rightarrow w=\frac{10422}{5}\Rightarrow w=2080.4\Rightarrow w\approx2080[/tex]

So, the front wheels carry approximately 2080 Lb of the total weigth.
