Question

At a construction job for a gallery there are 33 painters. Of these painters, 21 of them

are painting the interior of the gallery. What percent of these painters are painting the
interior? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

63.6%

Explanation:

21 out of 33 is what we are working with here. Divide.

21/33

= 0.636363...

Times by 100 to change from a decimal to a percent (you know "per cent" means "per hundred")

= 63.636363...

Round to the nearest tenth as per the instructions.

= 63.6%
