Algebra.Com's Answer #94962 by jim_thompson5910(35256) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First add up all of the workers:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7,862,418+1,120,982+144,959+138,496+149,641+346,626=9,763,122\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So there are a total of 9,763,122 workers in this sample\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now to find the percentage of workers who walk to work, simply divide the number of workers who walk by the total number of workers\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "138,496/9,763,122 = 0.014186\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now multiply by 100 to get a percentage\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 0.014186*100= 1.4186%\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So about 1.42% of the workers walk to work\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
