A manifest has a missing tracking number on 1 line out of 120. What percentage is missing?

• A. 0.5%
• B. 0.83%
• C. 1%
• D. 2%

Answer: (B)

To find the percent missing, divide the number missing by the total and multiply by 100. Here, 1 line is missing out of 120 total lines, so 1/120 = 0.008333..., and multiplying by 100 gives 0.8333... percent. Rounding to two decimals yields 0.83%. This matches the option 0.83%, since one missing out of 120 is a bit under 1%.
