Question

Four people applied for a job as an assistant manager at a store. Only two of these people will be hired.

Answer 1

50% of the applicants will be hired.

Explanation:

Given that four people applied for a job as an assistant manager at a store, but only two of these people will be hired, the following calculation must be performed to determine the percentage of people who will enter the job:

4 - 2 = 2

4 = 100

2 = X

2 x 100/4 = X

200/4 = X

50 = X

Thus, 50% of the applicants will enter the job.
