assume that 30% of city employees in city a ride the bus to work. consider the following two statements: the percentage of city employees who ride the bus to work is 10% higher in city b than in city a. the percentage of city employees who ride the bus to work is 10 percentage points higher in city b than in city a. for each case, state the percentage of city employees in city b who ride the bus to work. briefly explain why the two statements have different meanings. when the percentage of city employees who ride the bus to work is 10% higher in city b than in city a, what percentage of city employees in city b ride the bus to work? % (type an integer or a decimal.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate for 10% higher

To find 10% higher than 30%, we first find 10% of 30.
$10\%\text{ of }30 = 0.1\times30 = 3$.
Then we add this to 30.
$30+3=33$.

Answer:

33
