A regional training center is preparing for an incoming class of $600$ recruits. If $45\%$ of these recruits are assigned to the engineering track, how many recruits are in the engineering track?

$270$ Cevap
B
$330$
C
$27$
D
$45$

Cevap

There are

270

recruits in the engineering track.

The correct answer accurately determines the portion of the total by multiplying the total number of recruits (

600

) by the percentage in decimal form (

0.45

), yielding

270

Adım Adım Çözüm

Convert the percentage to a decimal or fraction.

45\% = 0.45

(or

\frac{45}{100}

)

Percentages must be converted into a workable numerical format before performing calculations.

Multiply the total number of recruits by the converted percentage.

600 \times 0.45 = 270

To find a specific percentage of a whole quantity, multiply the total by the percentage's decimal or fractional equivalent.
