Q. The local water slides have

10

employees, of which

20\%

are temporary. How many temporary employees are there?

\newline

\_\_\_\_

temporary employees

Identify total employees: Step $1$ : Identify the total number of employees and the percentage that are temporary. $\newline$ Total employees = $10$ $\newline$ Percentage of temporary employees = $20\%$
Calculate temporary employees: Step $2$ : Calculate the number of temporary employees using the percentage. $\newline$ Number of temporary employees = Total employees $\times$ (Percentage of temporary employees / $100$ ) $\newline$ Number of temporary employees = $10 \times (20 / 100)$ $\newline$ Number of temporary employees = $10 \times 0.2$ $\newline$ Number of temporary employees = $2$
