GED Math: Calculating Non-Instructor Employees at a Community College

Community College Staff Breakdown

• 🎯 The local community college has a total of 500 employees.
• 💡 It is stated that 30% of the staff are instructors.

Calculating Non-Instructors

• 🧠 The problem requires finding the number of employees who are not instructors.
• 📊 If 30% are instructors, then the remaining 70% are not instructors.
• 🔑 To find the number of non-instructors, calculate 70% of 500.

Solving the Percent Problem

• 🧩 Using the formula Part = Base × Rate, where Base = 500 and Rate = 70% (or 0.70).
• ⚡ 350 employees are not instructors (500 * 0.70 = 350).
• ✅ The remaining 150 employees are instructors (150 + 350 = 500), confirming the calculation.
