Question

In an office. 70% of the employees are male. Forty percent of the employees,which included six female employees got promotion. If there are 35 male employees,what percent of the male employees got promotion?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

40 % of males got promoted

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total no of employees be x

male employees=70/100*x=  $\frac{70}{100}$x

no of employees promoted=40/100*x=  $\frac{40}{100}x$

there are 35 male employees

so $\frac{70}{100}x=35$

x=50 i.e total no of employees is 50

40% got promoted ,no of promoted employees=(40/100)*50=20

no of males promoted=20-6=14

% of male promotion=$\frac{no of promoted males\\ }{total no of males} *100$

                                  =(14/35)*100

                                   =40%
