There are 200 female managers in a certain company. Find the total number of female employees Q in the company, if 2/5 of all the employees are managers and 2/5 of all male employees are managers. Pick
A) q = 300  B) q = 400  C) q = 500  D) q = 600  E) none of these

Rationale: { managers } = { female managers } + { male managers } ; we are told that the total number of managers in the company is 2 / 5 of all the employees , thus { managers } = 2 / 5 ( m + f ) , where m and f are number of female and male employees , respectively . also , we know that 2 / 5 of all male employees are managers : { male managers } = 2 / 5 * mas well as there are total of 200 female managers : { female managers } = 200 ; thus : 2 / 5 ( m + f ) = 200 + 2 / 5 * m - - > f = 500 . answer : c .
