    9450000 red cars

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Out of 100 cars that passed, 27 of them where red.

    The probability of red car to pass = 27/100

    Probability of red car to pass = 0.27.

    Now we are given a new value.

    The value is 35 million cars.

    Which is equal to 35000000.

    We are asked to estimate the number of cars that will be red from Ben previous calculations.

    The estimate = probability of red cars passing * number of cars in total

    The estimate = 0.27 * 35000000

    The estimate = 9450000

    So we expect 9450000 red cars to pass
