number of workers
what percent of dairy manufacturing employees produce liquid milk?
round your answer to the nearest percent and include a percent sign (%).

Explanation:

Step1: Find number of workers for each product

From the bar graph:

• Liquid milk: 50,000 workers (assuming the green bar reaches 50,000)
• Cheese: 40,000 workers (purple bar)
• Other: 40,000 workers (blue bar)

Step2: Calculate total number of workers

Total workers = Liquid milk + Cheese + Other = \( 50000 + 40000 + 40000 = 130000 \)

Step3: Calculate percentage for liquid milk

Percentage = \( \frac{\text{Liquid milk workers}}{\text{Total workers}} \times 100 = \frac{50000}{130000} \times 100 \)
\( \frac{50000}{130000} \times 100 \approx 38.46\% \), rounded to nearest percent is 38%

Answer:

38%
