Bill Watson	To the number of cars in the United States, what percent of them are Prowlers? I feel we are the lucky few to own Prowlers. They don't have to be perfect, they just need to be Prowlers. It's not just a car, it's an experience! Bill 2002 Inka Gold 2002 Candy Apple Red
ALLEY CAT	.00001% of 1 percent What did I win?
Black Tie 161	Did you hear about the constipated mathemetician? He worked it out with a pencil. Thank you ladies and germs...I'll be here all week, try the veal and be sure to tip your bartenders and waitresses...
Marty Usher	Actually the figure of Prowler production vs the approx. 134,000,000 cars registered in the US is closer to .008%. I wonder if that registration figure of 134,000,000 vehicles includes light trucks? I'll have tro research it more.
ed monahan	Marty, I think you need remedial math class. One percent of 134 Million would be 1 million, 340 Thousand. You are saying that it is 4/5 of that. 134,000,000 x .01 ___________ 1,340,000 You need to add some zeroes. This message has been edited by ed monahan on 11-11-2002 at 03:06 PM

Ed - 134,000,000 x .00008 (.008%) ----------- 10,720.00 Another way 11,697/134,000,000 is equivalent to x/100 11697 x 100 divided by 134,000,000 = .008% You forgot the two decimal point positions for the %. At least I think I am correct. At least my math is closer than Alley Cats!! Marty This message has been edited by Marty Usher on 11-11-2002 at 03:35 PM

I wonder if that registration figure of 134,000,000 vehicles includes light trucks? I'll have tro research it more. From figures that I have seen... the number of registered vehicles in the U.S. is currently well over 200 million... When you crunch the numbers, roughly 1 in 20,000 registered vehicles in the U.S. is a Prowler.
ed monahan	Marty it is .00008. Why are you dropping the first two zeroes? you multiplied it by .00008, which is correct and then put .008 as the answer. .008 is just less than 1% or 4/5 of 1 %. 1% is .01.
ALLEY CAT	Hey dudes,,,,,,I'm close then
Marty Usher	Damon - 200,000,000 sounds like it could be the correct number. The internet source I quoted the 134,000,000 listed CARS registered in US. That is why I had posted I wondered if it included light trucks. Ed - Regarding the math - Lord knows I was not a math major and could be wrong but I moved the decimel two places or added two zeros, however you want to look at it, because the figure .008 was of 1 percent. The percent accounts for the extra two zeros. .008% and .00008 are the same number . Example 100 x 1% is 1.0 100 x .01 is also 1.0
ed monahan	Mike, can you make this next week's poll? lol
ed monahan	Marty, I apologize, you are correct. I asked Sandy last night and she said you were correct. (so I cut her off for two weeks to teach her a lesson). I totally forgot about the fact of moving two decimals. It has been almost 50 years since we had that in grade school and I read your latest explanation and went, hmm, that sounds about right. I was thinking two decimals for $ 1. and cents.
Marty Usher	Ed - of course I am not as OLD as you. It has only been 30 something years since my school days. So, before I posted the explanation I checked with my 17 year old daughter to make sure of the calculations. Regardless of the decimal point, we - PROWLER OWNERS - are certainly a minority!
