Question

  1. the local water slides have 85 employees, of which 40% are temporary. how many temporary employees are there? temporary employees submit

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find 40% of 85, first convert 40% to a decimal. 40% is equivalent to $0.4$ (since $40\%=\frac{40}{100} = 0.4$).

Step2: Multiply by total number of employees

Now, multiply this decimal by the total number of employees (85). So we calculate $85\times0.4$.
$85\times0.4 = 34$.

Answer:

34
