Question

40 points! Please help, I don't remember how to figure this out;

While researching the industry she is interested in, Charlize sees that the average employment rate is 97.3%. How many people, out of every 250, are employed? (1 point)
243.25
234.66
24.33
256.93

Answer 1

243.25

Explanation:

When doing percents you need to make it into a dividing problem like this:

250/X = 100%/97.3%

You assume 250 is 100%. Now you divide 100/97.3. After that you will multiply 250 to get 243.25.
