The HIM Department maintains 5000,000 records and responds to 5,000 requests for records in a given period of time. What is the record usage rate?
The record usage rate is calculated by dividing the number of requests for records by the total number of records maintained and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. Here, 5,000 requests divided by 5,000,000 records is 0.001. Multiplying this by 100 gives a usage rate of 0.1%, which corresponds to option A.
The answer is 0.1% = (5000x100)/ 5000000
B -5,000 requests for records / 5,000,000 maintained records x 100 = 1% record usage
Maybe there was an error with the "0s" and the 5,000,000.00 should actually be 500,000 Therefore it would go like this 5000/500000 = 0.01x100 = 1% But 5000/5,000,000 = 0.001 x 100 = 0.1% Its safe to say based on their answer given the added one "0" too much.
The correct answer is A not B
I must be calculating this wrong somehow. Isn't it 5,000/5,000,000? If so, this comes out to 0.001, which is 0.1%. This is not an option. How do I get 1%?
