Question

At a construction job for a mansion there are 32 painters. Of these painters, 24 of them are painting the interior of the mansion. What percent of these painters are painting the interior?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\% Percent = 75 \%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Painters = 32$

$Interior\ Painters = 24$

Required

Determine the percentage of the interior painters

This percentage is calculated as:

$\% Percent = \frac{Interior\ Painters}{Painters} * 100\%$

This gives:

$\% Percent = \frac{24}{32} * 100\%$

$\% Percent = \frac{24* 100\%}{32}$

$\% Percent = \frac{2400\%}{32}$

$\% Percent = 75 \%$

75% are painting the interiors
