Question
80% of the workers at a factory are male. 45% of the male workers and 30% of the female workers have been trained to use a new machine. What percentage of the workers have not been trained?
Solution
To solve this problem, we first need to determine the percentage of workers who have been trained.
-
We know that 80% of the workers are male. This means that 20% of the workers are female.
-
45% of the male workers have been trained. To find the percentage of all workers that this represents, we multiply 80% (the percentage of male workers) by 45% (the percentage of male workers who have been trained). This gives us 36%.
-
30% of the female workers have been trained. To find the percentage of all workers that this represents, we multiply 20% (the percentage of female workers) by 30% (the percentage of female workers who have been trained). This gives us 6%.
-
To find the total percentage of workers who have been trained, we add the percentage of male workers who have been trained (36%) to the percentage of female workers who have been trained (6%). This gives us 42%.
-
To find the percentage of workers who have not been trained, we subtract the percentage of workers who have been trained (42%) from 100%. This gives us 58%.
So, 58% of the workers have not been trained.
