Question

Out of 48 job applicants, the manager chose 22 to interview. Did more than half of the applicants get an interview?
b. What percent of the applicants got an interview? Round to the nearest whole percent.

Answer 1

No, less than half of the applicants got an interview.  1/2 of the applicants would be 24 that would need to be interviewed.

To calculate the percentage: 22/48 x 100.  This gives you 45.8% got interviewed.
