Question

There are 42 carpenters in a crew. On a certain day, 36 were present. What percent showed up for work?

Answer 1

85% is the answer I think

Answer 2

36        100
----- *  -------- 
42          1

(36x100) divided by (42x1) = 85.8%

Therefore 85.8% of the crew were present for work on that day.
