Question

If 42%of the employees in a office are girls, then what percent of the employees in the office are boys?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of staff be 100.

Female staff = 40

Male staff: (100 - 40) = 60

Votes cast by females = 40/100×40 = 16

Votes cast by males = 60/100×60 = 36

Votes cast by both (males + females) = 16 + 36 = 52

Answer 2

Given: $42$%of the employees in an office are girls.

We have to find the percent of the employees in the office are boys.

We are solving in the following way:

As we know that $42$%of the employees in an office are girls.

Therefore, the percent of the employees in the office are boys will be:

=>$100-$ The percent of girls employees in the office.

$=>100-42\\=>58$

Hence, the percent of the employees in the office are boys will be$58$%.
