Explanation:

To find a numbers percentage of another number you simply divide the smaller number by the bigger number then move the decimal point to the right 2 places.

Percentage of workers who prefer chicken soup who are part-time: 35÷500 = 0.07 move the decimal 2 to the right to get 7%.

Percentage of full-time workers who prefer mushroom soup: 55÷500 = 0.11 move the decimal 2 to the right to get 11%.

Percentage of workers who prefer lintel soup who are full-time: 25÷500 = 0.05 move the decimal 2 to the right to get 5%.

Percentage of part-time workers who prefer tomato soup: 70÷500 = 0.14 move the decimal 2 to the right to get 14%.

Hope this helps! :)
