Answer:

61.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

27×25/100+73×75/100

27/4+219/4

246/4= 61.5

Answer 2

61.5% of the Total number of employees were absent on that day.

Given,

Total Number of employees = 800

Women employees = 27%

Absentees = 75% of men + 25% of women

To Find,

Percentage of employees absent

Solution,

Women Employees = 27% of 800

Women Employees = 27/100 * 800

Women Employees = 216

Men Employees = (100 - 27)% of 800 = 73% of 800

Men Employees = 73/100 * 800

Men Employees = 584

Absentees = 75% of men + 25% of women

Absentees = 75% of 584 + 25% of 216

Absentees = (75/100 * 584) + (25/100 * 216)

Absentees = 438 + 54 = 492

% of absent employees = 492/800 * 100

% of absent employees = 61.5%

Hence, the percentage of absent employees is 61.5%
