The Vice President of Nursing is analyzing the number of nurses currently employed who have baccalaureate degrees. Of the current 750 nurses, 225 have this degree
To meet the average of 36% of nurses having this degree, how many additional nurses will need to earn this degree in nursing?
Correct Answer: 45
The current number of nurses with a baccalaureate degree is 30% (750 × 30% = 225). To meet the average of 36%, a total of 270 nurses will need this degree. If 225 currently have this degree then 270 - 225 = 45 nurses will need to earn this degree.
