Question

The Wal-Mart where you work has recently unionized. It is reported that 46% of the 300

employees at your store have joined the union. How many employees at your store joined the union?

Answer 1

You can solve this problem by using a calculator

300• 0.46 = 138

This makes sense because 46% is less than 50% (which is half) and so is 138 which is less than half of 300 (150)

Answer: 138 employees joined the union
