Question

13. The manager of a clothing store planned to give free turkeys to salespersons selling over $10,000 during the fall harvest sale. Of the 110 salespersons working at the store, only 8 sold over $10,000. What percent of the salespersons received turkeys?

Answer 1

Answer:

7.27% of the salespersons received turkeys

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the 110 salespersons working at the store, only 8 sold over $10,000.

So those earned turkeys.

As a proportion, this is: 8/110 = 0.0727

To find the percentage, we multiply the proportion by 100%. So

0.0727*100% = 7.27%

7.27% of the salespersons received turkeys
