There are 180 vehicles in the vehicle fleet, of which 80% are trucks. How many trucks are there in the fleet?

We draw up an equation in which we write the total number of cars in the fleet as 100%.

We write down the number of trucks in the fleet as an unknown number x.

Thus, all 180 vehicles will be 100% in the same way that the unknown number of trucks x is 80%.

We get the following equality:

180/100% = x / 80%.

We multiply the extreme terms of the proportion among ourselves.

100 * x = 180 * 80.

100 * x = 14,400.

x = 14400/100 = 144 trucks.

Answer: There are 144 trucks in the vehicle fleet.
