Question

24 out of the 40 employees at the sports shop are part-time employees. What percentage of the employees at the sports shop work part-time?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of part-time employees at the sports shop, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of part-time employees}}{\text{Total number of employees}} \right) \times 100
\]

In this case:

- Number of part-time employees = 24
- Total number of employees = 40

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{24}{40} \right) \times 100
\]

Calculating the fraction:

\[
\frac{24}{40} = 0.6
\]

Now multiplying by 100 to convert to a percentage:

\[
0.6 \times 100 = 60
\]

Therefore, 60% of the employees at the sports shop work part-time.
