​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

• Total people applied for service=50
• 2/5 were turned down without being interviewed .
• 1/3 of remaining are hired.

To find:-

How many applicants were employed

Solution:-

number of total applicants=50

Turned down applicants without being interviewed=2/5

• First we need to find how many are turned down without being interviewed.

${:}\longrightarrow$${\dfrac {2}{5}}\:of\:50$

${:}\longrightarrow$${\dfrac {2}{{\cancel {5}}}}×{\cancel{50 }}$

${:}\longrightarrow$$2×10$

${:}\longrightarrow$$20$

• Now we need to find remaining applicants

${:}\longrightarrow$$50-20$

$\therefore$${\boxed{30applicants}}$

• Now according to question 1/3 of the remaining applicants are hired

${:}\longrightarrow$${\dfrac {1}{3 }}\:of\:30$

${:}\longrightarrow$${1×10}$

${:}\longrightarrow$${\underline{\boxed{\bf {10}}}}$

$\therefore$10 applicants are employed

Answer 2

$\underline {\boxed{\bold{Question}}}$

• Out of the 50 people who applied for service crews in Marco Juan's Restaurant, 2/5 were turned down without being interviewed. If 1/3 of the remaining applicants were hired, how many applicants were employed?

$\underline {\boxed{\bold{Given}}}$

• Total people applied = 50
• People without being interviewed = 2/5 × 50 = 20
• 1/3 of the remaining applicants were hired

$\underline {\boxed{\bold{Answer}}}$

→ People interviewed = Total person - People without being interviewed

→ People interviewed = 50 - 20

→ People interviewed = 30

So now 1/3 of remaining people are hired i.e. given jobs.

∴ Hired people = 1/3 × → People interviewed = 30

∴ Hired people = 1/3 × 30 = 10

$\underline {\boxed{\bold{\therefore Applicants\: employed = 10 }}}$
