From Monday through Friday, James works in the library on 2 days and in the cafeteria on another day. On Saturday and Sunday, James washes cars 50% of the days. How many days does James work in a week? What percent of the days from Monday through Friday does he work?

Answer:

4 days ;

60%

Explanation:

From Monday to Friday

Number of days in library = 2

Number of days in cafeteria = 1

50% of days in weekends

Number of weekend days = 2

50% of 2 = 0.5 * 2 = 1 day

Total. Number of days worked = (2 +1 + 1) = 4 days

What percent of the days from Monday through Friday does he work?

Number of days workwd from. Monday to Friday = 3

Total number of days from Monday to Friday = 5

Percentage of days worked from Monday to Friday

= number of days worked / total number of days

= 3 /5 * 100%

= 0.6 * 100%

= 60%
