number of cars Samuel has = 27 * 100 / 60 = 45 Cars

The correct answer is:


45 cars.


Explanation:


Let x represent the total number of cars in Samuel's collection.


We know that 27 is 60% of the total. We write 60% of the total as 0.6x. Since this is 27, this gives us the equation


0.6x = 27


Divide both sides by 0.6:

0.6x/0.6 = 27/0.6


x = 45
