A surveys researcher surveys 240 adults to determine how many work from home. Of the total surveyed, 84 adults said they work from home. What percent of the adults surveyed work from home?
84/240 = x/100 then you cross multiply which gives you 240x= 8400 then you have to isolate the x and divide 240 to each side the x = 8400/240 which gets your answer 35%.
