The number of men working in the Marketing department forms what % of the total number of employees in the organisation?
-
- 22.5
- 34.5
- 19.5
- 38.5
- None of these
Correct Option: A
As per given data ,
The total number of employees in the organisation = 520
Ratio of men to women in the organisation = 5 : 3
Number of men in the organisation = 5 x 65 = 325
% of the number of men working in the Marketing department = [ 100 - ( 40 + 20 + 4 ) ]% = 36%
The number of men working in the Marketing department = 325 of 36% = 117
| ∵ percentage = | The number of men working in the Marketing department | x 100 % |
| the total number of employees in the organisation |
| = | 117 | x 100 = 22.5 % |
| 520 |
