Question

At a construction job for a house there are 16 painters. Of these painters, 4 of them are painting the

interior of the house. What percent of these painters are painting the interior? Show your work.

Answer 1

For this case, we have the total of painters is 16, so to determine what percentage is painting the interior of the house, we make a rule of three:

16 ---------------> 100%

4 -----------------> x

Where "x" represents the% of painters who paint the interior of the house.

`x = \frac {4 * 100} {16}\\x = 25`

Thus, 25% of painters are painting the interior of the house.

Answer:

25%
