Explanation=

We have been the word problem as Jerry, an electrician, worked 7 months out of the year. What percent of the year did he work?

In a year there are 12 months.

January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.

Jerry works for 7 months. This can be any 7 months from above.

Percentage = (total work done in month/Total Months) *100%

Here the total work done= 7 months

Total months =12

Percentage of year he worked =

7/12 *100%

=> 700/12 % = 58.33%

So the percentage he worked for is 58.33%

This value first rounded off to one decimal place is 58.3%

The rounded off value to nearest hundredth is 58%

Therefore the answer is 58%.
