Question

Choose the most appropriate option for the following question.
In a company, $60\%$ workers are males. If the number of female workers in the company is $800$, what is the number of male workers in the company?

• A. $1200$
• B. $1600$
• C. $1400$
• D. $1900$.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$1200$

If $60\%$ workers are males, thus $4\%$ workers are females.

Now, $40\%$ of total $=800$

Thus, $60\%$ of total $=\frac{800}{\frac{40}{100}}\times \frac{60}{100}$

$=\frac{800}{0.4}\times 0.6=1200$
