Question 49037: Hello Good Evening can you Please help me with this problem
In one the week the Emergency response received a total of thirty calls. Six of which were false alarms. What was the percentage of actual calls this company attended.
Thank you for the help need to know what formula should be used

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
30 - false calls = calls attended
(calls attended)/(total calls) = percentage of actual calls attended
(30 - 6)/30 = 24/30 = 0.80 = 80%
