Answer 1

Answer:

$\%Absent = 80.20\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached data

Required

%Absentee on Friday

First, calculate the total present

$Present = 42 + 36 + 40 + 36 + 38$

$Present = 192$

Calculate the %Present on Friday

$\%Present = \frac{Friday}{Present} * 100\%$

$\%Present = \frac{38}{192} * 100\%$

$\%Present = \frac{3800}{192}\%$

$\%Present = 19.80\%$

Using complement rule:

$\%Absent = 100\% - \%Present$

$\%Absent = 100\% - 19.80\%$

$\%Absent = 80.20\%$
