Nicky works as a cashier at the ABC store. One day she checked out 36 people. Of the people she checked out 9 were men. What PERCENT of the people checked out were WOMEN? is it 25% or 75% I'm not sure

Respuesta :

25% were Men and 75% were woman. Yes you're correct! ⭐️

Answer:

The correct answer is 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's start by analyzing the information we have.

We know that the total number of people was 36.

We know that 9 of those people were men, which leads us to the conclusion that 27 of them were women:

36-9 = 27

Now we must transform that into a percentage. One of the ways to do it can be through a cross-multiplication.

If     36 people ----- 100%

      27 people ---- x

36. x = 100.27

36x = 2700

x = 2700: 36

x = 75

In this way we can verify that the correct answer is 75%.
