To solve for the percentage of the women in the factory, we need to know first how many women in the factory out of 150 workers. Since there are 90 men out of 150 workers, subtract 150 by 90 to get the total number of women in the factory.
> 150 - 90 = total number of women
> 60 = total number of women
Divide 60 by 150 and multiply the quotient by 100 and add the to get the percentage of women in the factory.
> (60/150) x 100 = percentage of women in the factory
> (0.4) x 100 = percentage of women in the factory
> 40% = percentage of women in the factory.
