1. in a city in which there are 90,000 employed workers, 18,000 are public
employees. of this number, the federal government employs 6,000; the state, 8,000, and
the city, 4,000.
a) what percentage of all workers are public employees?
b) what percentage of the public employees does the federal government employ?

Explanation:

Q1:

a.) If 46% of 1,860,000 is spent per month for fire and police protection, that is equivalent to 0.46*1,860,000 = $855,600

b.) If $855,600 is the amount spent per month, in 1 year that amount would be multiplied by 12 since we have 12 months in a year;

= 855,600 * 12 = $10,267,200

Q2:

a.)

Total employed workers = 90,000

Public employees = 18,000

Percentage of public employees = (18,000 / 90,000) *100% = 20%

b.)

Public employees = 18,000

Out of the 18,000, number employed by Federal government  = 6,000

Therefore, percentage of public employees, employed by Federal government is; (6,000 / 18,000) *100% = 33.33%
