    23% not covered

    35 in accidents on a weekend

    so you want to find 23% of 35...

    change 23% into a decimal by dividing it by 100

    =23/100

    =0.23

    Now times 35 by 0.23

    =35 x 0.23

    = 8.05

    Therefore, approximately 8.05 automobiles will not be covered by insurance.
