There are 225 female managers in a certain company. Find the total number of female employees in the company, if 2/5 of all the employees are managers and 2/5 of all male employees are managers.	Answers:
A) 300
B) 400
C) 562.5
D) 600
E) none of these

Rationale: as per question stem 2 / 5 m ( portion of men employees who are managers ) + 225 ( portion of female employees who are managers ) = 2 / 5 t ( portion of total number of employees who are managers ) , thus we get that 2 / 5 m + 225 = 2 / 5 t , or 2 / 5 ( t - m ) = 225 , from here we get that t - m = 562.5 , that would be total number of female employees and the answer ( c )
Answer: C
