Question

A group of 25 employees want to go out for a group dinner. 18 employees want to go to Restaurant . 7 employees want to go to Restaurant . Use this information to answer the questions below. CLEARCHECK What fraction shows the proportion of employees who want to go to Restaurant ? What percent of employees want to go to Restaurant ?

Answer 1

72 percent

Explanation:

There is a typo in the problem statement, as two restaurants are mentioned but only one is named. I will assume it was intended to say that 18 employees want to go to Restaurant A and 7 employees want to go to Restaurant B.

To find the fraction of employees who want to go to Restaurant A, we can divide the number of employees who want to go to Restaurant A by the total number of employees:

Fraction = Number of employees who want to go to Restaurant A / Total number of employees

Fraction = 18 / 25

So the fraction of employees who want to go to Restaurant A is 18/25.

To find the percentage of employees who want to go to Restaurant A, we can multiply the fraction by 100:

Percentage = Fraction * 100

Percentage = 18/25 * 100

Percentage = 72

So 72% of the employees want to go to Restaurant A.
