Step-by-step Answer/Explanation(answers are underlined and bolded):
okay, first you want to identify all the numbers and what they mean:
lawyers:235 (within the main number of lawyers: Criminal lawyers: 74)
Family doctors: 87
Sergeons: 30
From there, add up all of said numbers (ignore the Criminal lawyers for now):
235 + 87 + 30 = 352
(352 is going to be the denominator or the number that we are going to be dividing from.)
Next, we start answering the questions!
the first one is asking for the percent of sergeons.
To do this, we need to take the number of sergeons listed, 30, and divide 352 from it:
30/352 = .0852
then multiply this by 100:
.0852 x 100= 8.52%
So the percent of sergeons is 8.52%
Next question: the percent of Family Doctors
so like the last question, we identify the number of doctors, 87, and divide 352 from it, then multiplying it by 100 after:
87/352 = .2472
.2472 x 100 = 24.72%
Meaning the percent of family doctors is 24.72%
Criminal Law is next:
repeat the steps in the last couple of problems:
72/352 = .2045
.2045 x 100 = 20.45%
Family Law:
Okay, so now, we need to take that 235 from earlier and subtract it from 72 (the criminal law students) to get the number of students going into family law.
235 - 72 = 163
now repeat the steps from the earlier problems:
163/352 = .3864
.3864 x 100 = 38.64%
(I don't particularly understand what the rest is asking...I figure you can probably figure out from here...? I hope this helps!!)
