We are asked to find the percentage of employees being sent to the new office. We can do this by creating a fraction that represents how many employees were sent (3) out of the total (90). Then we will refer to fraction-percent equivalents. Step 1. Create a fraction. We have 3 employees moving out of 90 total. The total will always be the denominator of our fraction. 3 employees out of 90 = ³/₉₀ Step 2. Next, we reduce our fraction to its simplest term: ³/₉₀ → ¹/₃₀ Step 3. We can convert any fraction to percent by dividing the numerator by the denominator and moving the decimal two spaces to the right. ¹/₃₀ = 0.033 = 3.3% However, since you will not be permitted to use a calculator on the real exam, we recommend you memorize the fraction - decimal - percent conversion chart below. 11ec0fd7_4bad_819d_a67f_65782eb59d0b_NR0003_00 NurseHub Hint: We don't have an equivalent for 1/30 but we know that 1/3 = 33%. The trick is that for each zero you add to the denominator, you move the decimal 1 space to the left. Since we have 1 zero in the denominator, 33% → 3.3%.
