Question

A survey of 40 employees at a company found that 22 of them preferred to eat lunch at their desk rather than at the cafeteria or outside the office. What percent of the surveyed employees preferred to eat lunch at their desk?

Answer 1

55 percent of the surveyed employees preferred to eat lunch at their desk.

Explanation:

Here, the total number of surveyed employees = 40

The number of employees who prefer having lunch at their desk = 22

Now,
`\textrm{Percentage of the employees who prefer to do so }  = \frac{\textrm{Number of people who prefer their desk for lunch}}{\textrm{Total employees surveyed}}  * 100`

`= (22)/(40)  * 100  =  55`

or, Percentage of the employees who prefer to do so = 55%

Hence, 55 percent of the surveyed employees preferred to eat lunch at their desk.
