Question

what is the percent of the employees that answered the quetion

Answer 1

A percent is a number out of 100.  Only 180 employees out of the 200 employees answered the question.  We can set a proportion to find the percent.

 

 

180 / 200 = x / 100

 

where  x = percent

 

 

Cross multiply.

 

200x = 18000

     x = 90

 

90 percent of the employees answered the question.
