Forty-six members of the community volunteered to help clean up the ravine. About 26% of the volunteers were retired. How many of the volunteers were retired?
for this question, i believe we need to calculate 26% of 46.
26% of 46 is (26*46)/100, which is 1196/100.
1196/100 = 11.96, so about 11 of the volunteers were retired, i think.
hope this helped! please let me know if my answer / logic is incorrect :)
