Given the statement:
A recent study that examined 36,000 military jobs found that only 1080 of these jobs are filled by women.
Determine the percentage of these jobs that are filled by women.
Solution:
To do so we divide 1080 by the total number of jobs which is 36,000.
= 1080/36000
= 0.03
Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.
= (0.03)(100)
= 3%
Final answer:
3%
