Certainly! Let's determine what percentage of the world's total car production was contributed by England in 2006. Here’s the step-by-step calculation:
1. Identify the number of cars produced by England and the total car production:
- England produced [tex]\( 6.526 \)[/tex] million cars.
- The total car production was [tex]\( 141 \)[/tex] million cars.
2. Calculate the percentage contribution of England to the total car production:
We use the formula for percentage contribution:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage Contribution} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of Cars Produced by England}}{\text{Total Car Production}} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
Substituting the numbers:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage Contribution} = \left( \frac{6.526}{141} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
3. Determine the result of the calculation:
The exact percentage of England's contribution to the total car production is approximately [tex]\( 4.628368794326241 \)[/tex]% (This value is derived from computational methods or precise calculations).
4. Round the percentage to the nearest whole number:
The question asks us to round this percentage to the nearest percent.
[tex]\[
\text{Rounded Percentage Contribution} = 5\%
\][/tex]
Thus, when you round [tex]\( 4.628368794326241 \)[/tex] to the nearest whole number, you get [tex]\( 5 \)[/tex]%.
Therefore, England contributed approximately 5% of the world's total car production in 2006.
