2/4 is the larger fraction. Think of a candy bar that is cut into 4 equal pieces. Now think of the same sized candy bar cut into 6 pieces. The candy bar that has been cut into sixths has more pieces but they are smaller pieces that the candy bar cut into fourths. **When comparing fractions, if the numerators are the same (like they are in this problem) look at the denominators. Whichever fraction has the greater number is actually going to be the smaller fraction (more pieces, but smaller pieces). If the denominators are the same, then the fraction that has the greater number in the numerator will be the larger fraction (more same-sized pieces than the other fraction) Hope that helps!

If total employee benefits are calculated as a percentage of their gross pay, which of the following employees receives the larg

vlabodo [156]

Consider all employees.

A.

gross pay $32,600 - 100%,
total job benefits $33,600 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{32,600}{33,600}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\32,600\cdot x=33,600\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{33,600\cdot 100}{32,600}=\dfrac{33,600}{326} \approx 103.07.$

Employee A receives 3.07% of gross pay in employee benefits.

B.

gross pay $32,900 - 100%,
total job benefits $34,000 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{32,900}{34,000}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\32,900\cdot x=34,000\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{34,000\cdot 100}{32,900}=\dfrac{34,000}{329} \approx 103.34.$

Employee B receives 3.34% of gross pay in employee benefits.

C.

gross pay $33,400 - 100%,
total job benefits $33,900 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{33,400}{33,900}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\33,400\cdot x=33,900\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{33,900\cdot 100}{33,400}=\dfrac{33,900}{334} \approx 101.50.$

Employee C receives 1.50% of gross pay in employee benefits.

D.

gross pay $33,700 - 100%,
total job benefits $34,700 - x%.

Then

$\dfrac{33,700}{34,700}=\dfrac{100}{x},\\ \\33,700\cdot x=34,700\cdot 100,\\ \\x=\dfrac{34,700\cdot 100}{33,700}=\dfrac{34,700}{337} \approx 102.97.$

Employee D receives 2.97% of gross pay in employee benefits.

Answer: correct choice is B.
