20% of city employees ride the bus to work. This is up 18% from last year. What percent of employees rode the bus to work last year? (Round to the tenth of a percentage.)

Respuesta :

Answer: 16.95%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the percent of employees who rode the bus to work last year be represented by y.

y[(100+18)/100] = 20

y(118/100) = 20

118y/100 = 20

118y = 100 × 20

118y = 2000

y = 2000/118

y = 16.95%

The percent of employees who rode the bus to work last year is 16.95%.
