Question

The local water slides have 100 employees, of which 30% are temporary. How many temporary employees are there?

Answer 1

There are 30 temporary employees

Explanation:

To find x% of quantity A, multiply x% by A after change x% to the normal number by divide it by 100 ⇒ (x ÷ 100) × A

Let us use this rule to solve the question

∵ The local water slides have 100 employees

∵ 30% of them are temporary

∴ The number of temporary employees = 30% × 100

∵ 30% = 30 ÷ 100 = 0.30

∴ The number of temporary employees = 0.30 × 100

∴ The number of temporary employees = 30

∴ There are 30 temporary employees
