Question 4 of 30
4. Question
In Manchester, a community group is working to reduce the number of traffic accidents by 20%. If the current number of accidents is represented by $A$, and it is known that $A = 500$, what will be the target number of accidents after the campaign?
Correct
In this scenario, we are considering the impact of community involvement on safe driving advocacy in Manchester. Suppose a local community group organizes a campaign that aims to reduce traffic accidents by 20% over the next year. If the current number of traffic accidents in Manchester is represented by $A$, then the target number of accidents after the campaign can be expressed as: $$ A_{target} = A – 0.2A = 0.8A $$ If the current number of accidents is 500, we can calculate the target number of accidents as follows: $$ A_{target} = 0.8 \times 500 = 400 $$ This means the community group aims to reduce the number of accidents from 500 to 400. To evaluate the effectiveness of the campaign, we can analyze the percentage reduction in accidents, which can be calculated using the formula: $$ \text{Percentage Reduction} = \frac{A – A_{target}}{A} \times 100\% $$ Substituting the values we have: $$ \text{Percentage Reduction} = \frac{500 – 400}{500} \times 100\% = \frac{100}{500} \times 100\% = 20\% $$ This shows that the campaign’s goal of reducing accidents by 20% is achievable if the community actively participates in the advocacy efforts. The effectiveness of such campaigns often relies on community engagement, education, and the implementation of safe driving practices.

The ability to interpret these factors accurately is essential for safe driving. Therefore, a nuanced understanding of right-of-way rules is not just about knowing the law; it involves critical thinking and situational awareness to navigate complex traffic situations effectively.
