Answer 1

20% of the employees work the night shift

Answer 2

Answer:

The percent of employees who work in the night shift are:

                                     20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of employee in the office are: 150

Number of employee who work in the night shift are:  30

The percent of the employee who work in the night shift is calculated as follows:

$\dfrac{\text{Number\ of\ people\ working\ in\ the\ night\ shift}}{\text{Total\ number\ of\ employees}}\times 100$

Hence, on putting the value in the above formula we get:

$=\dfrac{30}{150}\times 100\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{5}\times 100\\\\\\=20\%$

            Hence, the answer is:

                          20%
