There are 67 electricians on a jobsite. Thirty-one (31) are "career" helpers. Twenty-four (24) are indentured apprentices. Nine (9) are journeymen. Three (3) are foremen. What percentage of the electricians are indentured apprentices?

Respuesta :

Answer:

35.82 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no of electrician job = 67

No. of indentured apprentices = 24

____________________________________

Percentage mean per hundred,

Example for x percentage of any thing

literally it means if there are total no. of 100 things, then x  is the number of thing  in consideration.

Formula for  percentage calculation = (number of a particular thing/ total no of things out of which  the particular thing is considered) *100

______________________________________

Here,

Total no of electrician job = 67

No. of indentured apprentices = 24

percentage of  indentured apprentices = (Total no of electrician job /No. of indentured apprentices)   * 100 = 24/67 *100 = 35.82 %

Thus, there  35.82 % indentured apprentices  out of total electricians.

It means that if there were 100 electricians, then there would have been 35.82  indentured apprentices out of those 100 electricians.
