Given:
Number of women the gynecologist sees in one week = 75
Number of women for annual preventive exam that received pap smears = 42
Let's find the rate of pa smears performed this week.
To find the rate, apply the formula;
[tex]rate=\frac{\text{number of women that received pap smears}}{\text{ total number of women s}een\text{ that w}eek}\times100[/tex]
Thus, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{rate}=\frac{42}{75}\times100 \\ \\ \text{rate}=0.56\times100 \\ \\ \text{rate}=\text{ 56 \%} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the rate of pap smears performed in this week is 56%.
ANSWER:
56%
