Question

A survey was taken that asked participants whether or not they were happy with their job. An overall score was given. 300 of the participants were unhappy while 700 of the participants were happy with their job. Give a part-to-whole fraction for comparing happy participants to the whole. Then write a part-to-whole fraction of the unhappy participants to the whole. What percent were happy with their job, and what percent were unhappy with their job? Create a model to justify your answer.

Answer 1

`(700)/(1000) \\</p><p>\\`

Explanation:

300 of the participants were unhappy

700 of the participants were happy

_______________________________

1000 total participants

`(700)/(1000) \\\\`

fraction of happy participants to the whole

`(300)/(1000) \\\\`

fraction of unhappy participants to the whole

`(700)/(1000)=(70)/(100)  =` 70%

percentage of happy people with their job.

`(300)/(1000)=(30)/(100)  =` 30%

percentage of unhappy people with their job.
