Question

a. Out of 48 job applicants, the manager chose 22 to interview. Did more than half of the applicants get an interview? b. What percent of the applicants got an interview? Round to the nearest whole percent. yes; 48% no; 46% yes; 46% no; 45%

Answer 1

A. No, half of 48 would be 24, not 22.

B. no; 45% because

100%/x%=48/22
(100/x)*x=(48/22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.18181818182*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.18181818182) to get x
100/2.18181818182=x 
45.8333333333=x 
x=45.8333333333
