    Percent of soldiers = 93% (Rounding to the next whole number)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

    New Unit of the Army formed by:

    1 member is a Staff Sergeant

    3 are Sergeants

    21 are PFC's

    35 are PVT's

    2. What percent of the soldiers are in the Army?

    Let's recall that PFC is the acronym for Private First Class that are junior enlisted personnel and PVT is the acronym for Private, that is the lowest enlisted rank in the United States Army hierarchy.

    Upon saying that, we will consider that the total number of soldiers in this new unit is 35 + 21 = 56.

    For calculating the percent of soldiers, we will make this calculation:

    Percent of soldiers = Total number of of soldiers/Total number of members of the new unit

    Percent of soldiers = 56/60

    Percent of soldiers = 93% (Rounding to the next whole number)
