Question

. Linda is a customer service representative. She must answer at least 15% of the customer e-mails her company receives each day. Today, there were 40 e-mails awaiting response. How many e-mails must she answer?

Answer 1

6 Emails

Explanation:

If you take 15% of 40, or 0.15*40, you will get 6

So if she must respond to 15 percent of the total emails, you can use this equation to figure out how many emails she must respond to.
