Given:
A store employes 11 women and 12 men.
Determine the percentage of men.
Solution:
Add first the total number of women and men, then divide the total by the number of men.
= 11 + 12
= 23
= 12/23
= 0.52
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.
= (0.52)(100)
= 52%
Final answer:
52% are men
