Question

8.) Out of 600 employees, only 270 are happy with their pay. What percent is this? (Please show your work.) *

Answer 1

For this case we can raise a rule of three:

600 employees -------------> 100%

270 employees -------------> x

Where the variable "x" represents the percentage of employees who are satisfied with their salary. So, we have:

$x = \frac {270 * 100} {600}\\x = 45$

Thus, 45% of employees are satisfied with their salary.

Answer:

45%

Answer 2

ANSWER

$45\%$

EXPLANATION

The total number of employees is 600.

The number of employees who are happy with their pay is 270.

The percentage of employees who are happy with their pay is the number who are happy with their pay divided by total number of employees times 100%

$\frac{270}{600} \times 100\%$

This simplifies to

$45\%$
