Question

At a construction job for a mansion there are 32 painters. Of these painters, 24 of them are painting the interior of the mansion. What percent of these painters are painting the interior?

Answer 1

`\% Percent = 75 \%`

Explanation:

Given

`Painters = 32`

`Interior\ Painters = 24`

Required

Determine the percentage of the interior painters

This percentage is calculated as:

`\% Percent = (Interior\ Painters)/(Painters) * 100\%`

This gives:

`\% Percent = (24)/(32) * 100\%`

`\% Percent = (24* 100\%)/(32)`

`\% Percent = (2400\%)/(32)`

`\% Percent = 75 \%`

75% are painting the interiors
