Dear Sue,
Do you mean (176/232)100 = 75.86%
Thank you
Oops! I goofed!
Yes. You're right.
To calculate the rate of compliance in answering requests within the specified time frame, you need to divide the number of requests answered within the specified time frame by the total number of requests and then multiply the result by 100 to get a percentage.
First, determine the number of requests answered within the specified time frame. In this case, it is given as 176.
Next, find the total number of requests. According to the information provided, there were 232 requests in total.
Now, divide the number of requests answered within the time frame by the total number of requests: 176 / 232 = 0.7586 (rounded to four decimal places).
Finally, multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage: 0.7586 * 100 = 75.86%.
Therefore, the rate of compliance in answering requests within the specified time frame is approximately 75.86%.
