A company has 40 executives and 120 customer service representatives. If these are the only employees, what percentage of the employees are executives? Explain how you determined the

percentage of employees are executives.

25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of Executives = 40

Number of customer service representatives = 120

Percentage of the employees that are executives =?

Next, we shall determine the total number of employees in the company. This can be obtained as follow:

Number of Executives = 40

Number of customer service representatives = 120

Total number of employees =?

Total number of employees = (Number of Executives) + (Number of customer service representatives)

Total number of employees = 40 + 120

Total number of employees = 160

Finally, we shall determine the percentage of the employees that are executives as follow:

Number of Executives = 40

Total number of employees = 160

Percentage of the employees that are executives =?

Percentage = Number of Executives/ total employees × 100

Percentage = 40/160 × 100

Percentage = 0.25 × 100

Percentage = 25%

Therefore, the percentage of the employees that are executives is 25%

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
