Question

Can you please help me with this problem and can you please solve the question using proportion

Answer 1

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100",

Therefore we can write this problem as:

$\frac{29}{36}=\frac{x}{100}$

Where x is the percent of carpenters who showed up.

We can solve this for x:

2900 = 36x

x = 2900/36

x = 80.6%.
