I've been trying to figure out these three math problems. They are base rate and part problems…?
and cant seem to get my final figure right. Can anyone lend a hand please?
The 1st one is:
In a survey of 245 small to medium size hospitals, 45% said that they do not have enough radiologists. How many of these hospitals do have enough radiologists? Round to the nearest whole number.
and the 2nd is:
The average cost of 30 seconds of advertising during the super bowl 6 years ago was .3 million. If the increase in cost over the last 6 years has been 17%, find the average cost of 30 seconds of advertising during the super bowl this year. Round to the nearest tenth of a million.
This last problem I figured out but I wanted to check my answer.
The question is:
Telecommunications equipment maker Nortel Networks says it will lay off 4000 workers globally. If this amounts to 4% of its total workforce, how many worker will remain after the layoffs?
I am HORRIBLE with word problems. Anyone able to help???
I figured out all the rest but got stuck on those..
Thanks!

Part= Base x Rate
1. Part+ 245 x .45
2. Base = 2.3 million
Part = 2.3 million x .17
add answer to 2.3 million to get total cost
3. 4000=Base x .04 Therefore 4000 x .04 = Total employees
