A roofer is working to cover a 2,500-square-foot roof. He must first install rafters,

then sheathing, then felt, and finally shingles. He assumes the previous tasks com-

point, the roofer gets the following information on the subtasks:

Subtask               Unit1                     Total Quantity                   Installed Quantity

Rafters                 EA                         150                                      102

Sheathing            SF                          2,720                                   1,200

Felt                       SQ                         27.2                                     10

Shingles               SQ                         27.2                                     5

1EA=each; SF=square feet. SQ (square),  is 100 square feet; a unit

used mostly in roofing jobs.

Calculate the estimated percent complete for the roofing activity.
