There are 200 female managers in a certain company. Find the total number Y of female employees in the company, if 2/5 of all the employees are managers and 2/5 of all male employees are managers.
Choose the correct answer
A) 300
B) y = 400
C) y = 500
D) y = 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 ."
