business has 750 workers.
44% belong to a union.
77 more workers join the union.
what percent of the workers will not belong to the union.

44% of 750 is equal to 330

add 77 to that and you get 407.

407/750 is equal to .5426666666.....

that would be equal to 54.266666....%

round to the nearest tenth and it becomes equal to 54.3%.
