30%
If you work 200 regular hours and 50 hours overtime, what is the percent for the total hours?
To answer the question, we need to determine the total number of hours worked for the week and then calculate what percentage of those hours were overtime.
To find the total number of hours worked, we can add the regular hours and the overtime hours together:
Total hours = Regular hours + Overtime hours
Total hours = 200 hours + 50 hours
Total hours = 250 hours
Now, let's calculate the percentage of overtime hours out of the total hours:
Percentage of overtime = (Overtime hours / Total hours) * 100
Substituting in the values we have:
Percentage of overtime = (50 hours / 250 hours) * 100
Percentage of overtime = (0.2) * 100
Percentage of overtime = 20%
Therefore, 20% of the total hours worked for the week were overtime.
