Question

Here are 36 carpenters on a construction crew. On a certain day, 29 carpenters were present. Which proportion can be used to determine the percent of carpenters that were present?

Answer 1

80.6%

Explanation:

Given that :

Total construction crew = 36

Number present in a certain day = 29

Percentage present on that day :

(Number present / total number) * 100%

(29 / 36) * 100%

0.8055555 * 100%

80.555%

= 80.6%
