Question

In a company there are 25% skilled workers and remaining are unskilled. The 80% of skilled workers and 20% of unskilled workers are permanent. If the number of temporary workers is 130, what is the number of total workers?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Total workers = 200

◆ Explaination -

Let x be total no of workers.

Skilled workers = x × 25/100 = 0.25 x

Unskilled workers = x - 0.25x = 0.75 x

Permanent workers -

Skilled permanent workers = 0.25x × 80/100 = 0.2 x

Unskilled permanent workers = 0.75x × 20/100 = 0.15 x

Total temporary workers are -

Temporary workers = x - (0.2x + 0.15x)

130 = 0.65 x

x = 200

Therefore, number of total workers in a company is 200.

Hope this helps you...
