Question

If the 888 men on a construction crew make up 40 percent of the entire crew, how many people are in the crew

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 2220 construction crew members in total

Step-by-step explanation: we can use common sense by dividing 888 by 2 and 40% by 2 equaling 444 men for 20% of crew men. 444 men= 444x5 which is 2220. its multiplied by 5 because 20 x 5 is 100%

Answer 2

2220

Explanation:

c= construction crew

`(888)/(c) =(40)/(100)`

cross multiply

`88800=40*c`

divide

`c=2220`
