Answer:

45.75%

Explanation:

When asking for the utilization of the plant, the question is basically referring to how much of its full potential is the plant currently operating at. Therefore this can be calculated by dividing its current output (4,575) by its maximum output (10,000) like so...

4,575 / 10,000 = 0.4575

Now we multiply that by 100 in order to get the percentage.

0.4575 * 100 = 45.75%

Therefore the current utilization of the plant is 45.75%
