Question

An office has 150 employees, and 30 of the employees work the night shift. What percentage of the employees work the night shift?

Answer 1

20% of the employees work the night shift

Answer 2

The percent of employees who work in the night shift are:

20%

Explanation:

Total number of employee in the office are: 150

Number of employee who work in the night shift are: 30

The percent of the employee who work in the night shift is calculated as follows:

`\frac{\text{Number\ of\ people\ working\ in\ the\ night\ shift}}{\text{Total\ number\ of\ employees}}* 100`

Hence, on putting the value in the above formula we get:

`=(30)/(150)* 100\\\\\\=(1)/(5)* 100\\\\\\=20\%`

Hence, the answer is:

20%
