Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:460%Step-by-step explanation:To find how many days James works in the week we first need to analyze the problem.Monday to Friday = 5 daysOn 2 days he works in a library.On another day he works in the cafeteria.So that means that James works.2 days Library + 1 day Cafeteria = 3 days.Now on Saturday and Sunday James works 50% of the days.Saturday and Sunday = 2 days50% of 2 = 1So James works 1 day on Saturday and Sundays.How many days does James work in the week?Weekdays = 3Weekend = 1So James works 4 days in a week.What percent of the days from Monday through Friday does he work?James works 3 days of Monday through FridaySince there are a total of 5 days from Monday through Friday, we can express it like this:[tex]\dfrac{3Days}{5Days}[/tex][tex]\dfrac{3Days}{5Days}=0.6[/tex]Now to find the percentage, we multiply the total to 100.0.6 x 100 = 60%
