Question

According to a survey of workers, 5/25 of them walk to work, 1/25 bike, 4/25 carpool, and 15/25 drive alone. What percent of workers walk or bike to work?

Answer 1

Answer: 24%

Explanation:

First add up the proportion of people who walk to work and those who bike as well. This will show the proportion of people who walk or bike to work.

This is:

= 5/25 + 1/25

= 6/25

Then convert this to a percentage:

= 6/25 * 100

= 24%
