Answer:
144 drivers are above 35 years of age.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of drivers above 35 years of age, we can calculate 32% of 450. Here's the calculation:
The **percent** in this problem is **32%**.
The **whole** in this problem is the total number of taxi drivers, which is **450**.
The **part** we are looking for is the number of drivers above 35 years of age, which we'll denote as \( d \).
The formula to calculate the part is:
\[ d = \frac{\text{percent}}{100} \times \text{whole} \]
So, plugging in the values we have:
\[ d = \frac{32}{100} \times 450 \]
\[ d = 0.32 \times 450 \]
\[ d = 144 \]
Therefore, there are **144 drivers** who are above 35 years of age.
