26% of all the employees attend night school

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • Within a computer service company, 20 percent of the male employees and 30 percent of the female employees attend night school
  • 40 percent of all employees are male

We need to find what percent of all the employees attend night school

Assume that the number of all employees is x

∵ The company has x employees

∵ 40 percent of all employees are male

- Find 40% of x

∵ 40% × x = \frac{40}{100} × x = 0.4 x

∴ The number of the male employees is 0.4 x

- Subtract 0.4 x from x to find the number of the female employees

∵ The number of female employees = x - 0.4 x = 0.6 x

∴ The number of the female employees is 0.6 x

∵ 20 percent of the male employees attend night school

- Multiply 20% by 0.4 x to find the number of male employees

   who attend night school

∴ The number of male who attend night school = 20% × 0.4 x

∴ The number of male who attend night school = \frac{20}{100} × 0.4 x

∴ The number of male who attend night school = 0.08 x

∵ 30 percent of the female employees attend night school

- Multiply 30% by 0.6 x to find the number of female employees

   who attend night school

∴ The number of female who attend night school = 30% × 0.6 x

∴ The number of male who attend night school = \frac{30}{100} × 0.6 x

∴ The number of male who attend night school = 0.18 x

Add the number of male and female who attend night school

∵ 0.08 x + 0.18 x = 0.26 x

∴ The number of male and female who attend night school is 0.26 x

- Find the percentage of 0.26 x of x

∵ \frac{0.26x}{x} × 100% = 26%

∴ 26% of all the employees attend night school

26% of all the employees attend night school

What is the surface area of the figure shown above
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

  230 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of each parallelogram face is ...

  A = bh = (8 cm)(3 cm) = 24 cm^2

The area of the two rectangular faces shown is ...

  A = (area of top face) + (area of right side face)

  A = (8 cm)(7 cm) +(5 cm)(7 cm) = 91 cm^2

The three faces we have figured the area of are half the total area, since there are three more faces exactly the same size. Then the total area of the figure is ...

  total surface area = 2(24 cm^2 +91 cm^2) = 230 cm^2

_____

Of course, the area of a rectangle is given by A=L·W, where L and W represent the length and width of the rectangle.
