53.52
To calculate the rate of compliance in answering requests for records, you need to divide the number of requests that were located within the established timeframe by the total number of requests and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
In this case, the number of requests located within the 20-minute timeframe is given as 4257, and the total number of requests is stated to be 5352.
The calculation can be done as follows:
Rate of compliance = (Number of requests located within timeframe / Total number of requests) * 100
Rate of compliance = (4257 / 5352) * 100
Calculating the value in the parentheses:
Rate of compliance = 0.795 * 100
Rate of compliance ≈ 79.50% (rounded to two decimal points)
Therefore, the rate of compliance in answering requests for records is approximately 79.50%.
