Answer 1

30% of the company’s total employees telecommute

Explanation:

Masco Industries has 285,000 total employees. Of those employees, 85,500 telecommute.

To find the percentage of company’s total employees telecommute

We divide the number of employees telecommute by total employees

Then we multiply by 100 to get percentage

Percentage =
`(number \ of  \ telecommute \ employess)/(total \ employees) * 100`

Percentage =
`(85500)/(285000) * 100`

Percentage = 0.3 * 100 = 30%
