Three employes had salaries of 1136,7636 and 11628 respectively. What percentage of the total salaries did the highest- paid employee get ?
Total salaries = (1136 + 7636 + 11628) = 20400.
For Required percentage = 11628*100/20400
= 57%
To find the percentage of the total salaries that the highest-paid employee received, we need to calculate the total of the three salaries first.
The salaries of the three employees are as follows:
Employee 1: $1136
Employee 2: $7636
Employee 3: $11628
To find the total salary, we can add the three salaries together:
Total Salary = Salary of Employee 1 + Salary of Employee 2 + Salary of Employee 3
Total Salary = $1136 + $7636 + $11628
Total Salary = $20400
Now that we have the total salary, we can calculate the percentage that the highest-paid employee's salary represents. We'll divide the salary of the highest-paid employee by the total salary and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
Highest-paid employee's salary = $11628
Percentage = (Highest-paid employee's salary / Total Salary) x 100
Percentage = ($11628 / $20400) x 100
Percentage = 0.569 x 100
Percentage ≈ 56.9%
Therefore, the highest-paid employee received approximately 56.9% of the total salaries.
