Question

An office has 80 employees, and 24 of the employees are managers. What percentage of the employees are managers?

Answer 1

Solution:

30% of the employees are managers.

Explanation:

We have been given that there are 80 employees, and 24 of the employees are managers.

We have to find the percentage of the employees that are managers.

We can find this percentage with the below formula

$\% = \frac{\text{Number of managers}}{\text{Total number of employee}}\times 100$

On substituting the known values, we get

$\%=\frac{24}{80}\times 100\\\%=\frac{3}{10}\times 100\\\%=3\times 10\\\%=30\%$

Therefore, 30% of the employees are managers.

Answer 2

You would have to do the problem doing:

X/100 = 24/80

And cross multiply 100 and 24. Then you would divide by the 80 and that leads to the answer of 30%.
