Suppose department x is 8,000 square feet, department y is 5,000 square feet, and department z is 6,000 square feet. what's the percent of overhead expense applied to department z?

31.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that

Area of Department X = 8,000  square feet

Area of Department Y = 5,000 square feet

Area of Department Z = 6,000 square feet

now the total area =

                               = square feet

Percentage of area covered by Department Z = %

                                               = %

                                                 = %

percentage of overhead expenses applied to Department Z = percentage of area covered by Department Z

hence we have,

percentage of overhead expenses applied to Department Z  = 31.6%

if you are looking for the unit rate then the answer would be 9 because unit rate is distance divided by time.
