Question

A study in your town found that 54 and 1762 people have a post office box. What percent of the people in town have a post office box?

Answer 1

We are given:

Total number of people in town = 1762

Number of people with post office box = 54

Therefore, the percent of the people in town that have a post office box is given below:

`(54)/(1762) * 100`

`0.030646992 * 100`

`3.06\%` rounded to two decimal places

Therefore, 3.06% of the people in town have a post office box.
