An insurance office has 150 employees. If 135 of the employees have cell phones, what portion of the employees do not have cell phones.
15/150 = 1/10 = 10%
To find the portion of employees who do not have cell phones, we need to subtract the number of employees who have cell phones from the total number of employees.
Total number of employees = 150
Number of employees with cell phones = 135
To find the number of employees without cell phones, we can subtract the number of employees with cell phones from the total number of employees:
Number of employees without cell phones = Total number of employees - Number of employees with cell phones
Number of employees without cell phones = 150 - 135 = 15
So, there are 15 employees who do not have cell phones.
To find the portion of employees without cell phones, we can divide the number of employees without cell phones by the total number of employees:
Portion of employees without cell phones = Number of employees without cell phones / Total number of employees
Portion of employees without cell phones = 15 / 150
Simplifying this fraction, we get:
Portion of employees without cell phones = 1 / 10
Therefore, 1/10 or 0.1 (10%) of the employees do not have cell phones.
