Answer 1

An insurance office has 55 employees.

If 22 of the employees have cell phones, find

(A) the portion of employees who have cell phones & 

(B) the people who do not.    

——   

A.)

The fraction in lowest terms of employees who have cell phones is: 2/5

In decimal form, the portion of employees who have cell phones is: 0.4  

The percentage of employees who do have cell phones is: 40 %   

B.)

The fraction in lowest terms of employees who don’t have cell phones is: 3/5  

In decimal form, the portion of employees who have cell phones is: 0.6  

The percentage of employees who do not have cell phones is 60 %  

Answer 2

portion of employees with cell phones = 22/55

portion of employees without cell phones = (55-22)/55 = 33/55

The fraction of employees with cell phones in lowest terms = 2/5

in decimal form = 0.4

percentage = 0.4 x 100% = 40%

The fraction of employees with cell phones in lowest terms = 3/5

  in decimal form = 0.6

percentage = 0.6 x 100% = 60%
