Question

the projected number of employed writers and authors in 2016 is 153,000. 12.4% of those will have some college experience but no degree, and 84.1% will have a bachelors degree or higher. If this holds true, how many more writers and authors with bachelors degree will be there than those with only some college experience and no degree?

Answer 1

Explanation:

12.4% 153000 = 12.4/ 100 * 153000 = 0.124 * 153000 = 1897

84.1% 153000 = 84.1/100 * 153000 = 0.841 * 153000 = 128673

The difference (and the answer) is 128673 - 1897 = 126776

Note: 3.5% are not accounted for. They probably just sat down and wrote.
