employees is 264. Find the total number of employees. Also find the number of

female employees

Answer 1

Answer:

12%of the employees is female

no. of males = 264

% of males = 100% - 12% = 88%

let the total number of employees be x

[88/100]x = 264

88x = 264*100

= 26400

x = 26400/88

=300 [ by cancellation method]

the total number of employees = 300

number of female employees = 12/100* 300

= 36 or 300 - 264 = 36

number of female employees = 36.
