Question

The average monthly salary paid to all employees in a company was Rs 8,000. The average monthly salaries paid to male and female employees of the company were Rs 10,600 and Rs 7,500 respectively. Find out the percentages of males and females employed by the company.

Answer 1

Answer:

Female = 83.87% and Male = 16.16%

Explanation:

(10600x +7500y)/(x+y) = 8000

y/x = 26/5 ; y% =(26/31)×100=> 83.87%

; x% = 100-y% => 16.13%

Answer 2

The percentages of males and females employed by the company is 16.12 % and 83.87 % respectively.

Explanation:

Let there are x and y numbers of males and females respectively in a company.

The total sum of salaries of x males is : 10600 x

The total sum of salaries of y females is : 7500 y

The average monthly salary paid to all employees in a company was Rs 8,000, x + y = 8000

The total sum of salaries for (x+y) members, 8000(x+y).

So,

$8000(x+y)=10600x+7500y\\\\8000x+8000y=10600x+7500y\\\\8000x-10600x=7500y-8000y\\\\2600x=500y\\\\x=0.1923y$

So, the total number of males and females are :

$(x+y)=0.1923y+y=1.1923y$

So, the percentage of males is :

$M=\dfrac{0.1923y}{1.1923y}\times 100\\\\M=16.12\%$

The percentage of females is

$F=100-16.12=83.87\%$

So, the percentages of males and females employed by the company is 16.12 % and 83.87 % respectively.
