Study the table given below and answer the question
The table gives attendance of employees (number of employees present) on five week days in five officers, namely, A,B,C,D and E:Days Number of employees present in offices A B C D E Monday 139 147 211 141 184 Tuesday 141 189 164 189 151 Wednesday 115 141 159 156 136 Thursday 89 223 120 147 113 Friday 187 93 257 160 124
\( 71 \frac{7}{8} \)
Analyzing Employee Attendance Data
This question requires us to compare the attendance figures for specific offices on specific weekdays. We need to find the number of employees present in Office A on Wednesday and the number of employees present in Office D on Friday. Then, we will calculate what percentage the first number is of the second number.
Attendance Data Table
First, let's look at the provided table which shows the number of employees present in five offices (A, B, C, D, E) across five weekdays (Monday to Friday).
| Days | Office A | Office B | Office C | Office D | Office E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | 139 | 147 | 118 | 141 | 114 |
| Tuesday | 141 | 189 | 164 | 189 | 151 |
| Wednesday | 115 | 141 | 159 | 156 | 136 |
| Thursday | 89 | 223 | 120 | 147 | 113 |
| Friday | 187 | 93 | 257 | 160 | 124 |
Extracting Attendance Figures
From the table, we identify the required attendance numbers:
- Number of employees present in Office A on Wednesday is 115.
- Number of employees present in Office D on Friday is 160.
Calculating the Percentage
We need to find what percentage 115 is of 160. The formula for percentage is:
$$ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100 $$
In this case:
- Part = Number of employees in Office A on Wednesday = 115
- Whole = Number of employees in Office D on Friday = 160
So, the calculation is:
$$ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{115}{160} \right) \times 100 $$
Step-by-step Calculation:
- Simplify the fraction \( \frac{115}{160} \). Both numbers are divisible by 5. $$ \frac{115 \div 5}{160 \div 5} = \frac{23}{32} $$
- Now, multiply the simplified fraction by 100 to get the percentage: $$ \text{Percentage} = \frac{23}{32} \times 100 $$
- Calculate the value: $$ \text{Percentage} = \frac{2300}{32} $$
- Divide 2300 by 32: $$ \frac{2300}{32} = \frac{1150}{16} = \frac{575}{8} $$
- Convert the improper fraction \( \frac{575}{8} \) to a mixed number: Divide 575 by 8: \( 575 \div 8 = 71 \) with a remainder of \( 7 \). So, \( \frac{575}{8} = 71 \frac{7}{8} \).
Therefore, the number of employees present in Office A on Wednesday is \( 71 \frac{7}{8} \% \) of the number of employees present in Office D on Friday.
