Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data from a survey:

  • 50 patients total were surveyed.
  • Of those, 30 patients waited less than 15 minutes.

We are asked to find the percent that represents what fraction of patients waited for less than 15 minutes. We can find this by dividing:

[tex]\rm\dfrac{\# \ patients\ who\ waited < \!15 \ minutes}{total\ \# \ patients} = \dfrac{30}{50}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

[tex]=0.6[/tex]

[tex]=\boxed{60\%}[/tex]

Further Note

We can convert a decimal to a percentage by multiplying it by 100:

[tex]0.60 = (0.60 \times 100)\%[/tex]

[tex]= 60\%[/tex]

Answer:

The correct answer is 60%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percentage of patients who waited less than 15 minutes, divide the number of patients who waited less than 15 minutes by the total number of surveyed patients and multiply by 100.

Percentage = (Number of patients who waited less than 15 minutes / Total number of surveyed patients) * 100

Percentage = (30 / 50) * 100

Percentage = 0.6 * 100

Percentage = 60%

Therefore, 60% of the patients surveyed stayed in the waiting room for less than 15 minutes.
