To find the percentage of employees with 8 or more years at the company who reported that email is their preferred method of communication, follow these steps:
1. Identify the total number of employees with 8 or more years of employment:
- From the table, there are 96 employees with 8 or more years at the company.
2. Identify the number of those employees who prefer email:
- From the table, out of these 96 employees, 43 prefer email.
3. Calculate the percentage of employees with 8 or more years of employment who prefer email as their communication method:
- The formula for percentage is: [tex]\(\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Number who prefer email}}{\text{Total number of employees with 8 or more years}}\right) \times 100\)[/tex]
Plug in the known values:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{43}{96}\right) \times 100
\][/tex]
Evaluating the expression:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage} \approx 44.79
\][/tex]
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. [tex]$44.79\%$[/tex]
