What percentage of the total payroll that week was overtime pay? Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

2.9%
4.3%
4.5%
18%

Answer 1

15 x 4 x 30
divided by
50 x 40 x 20

(15(4)(30))/(50(40)(20))

Remove all extra parentheses from the expression.
((60)(30))/((2000)(20))

Remove all extra parentheses from the expression.
(60(30))/(2000(20))

Remove all extra parentheses from the expression.
(1800)/(40000)

Reduce the expression (1800)/(40000) by removing a factor of 200 from the numerator and denominator.
(9)/(200)

The approximate value of ((15(4)(30)))/((50(40)(20))) is 0.043.
0.043
4.3 percent

Answer 2

After 6 min of math here you go
50*40*20= 40000
15*4*1.5*20= 1800
40000+1800= 41800
1800/41800*100= 4.30622
if rounded to nearest tenth that equals 4.3%

Answer 4.3%
Hope this helps.
