Problem: among all sales staff at listco corporation , college graduates and those without college degrees are equally represented . each sales staff member is either a level - 1 or level - 2 employee . level - 1 college graduates account for 10 % of listco ' s sales staff . listco employs 72 level - 1 employees , 20 of whom are college graduates . how many sales staff members without college degrees are level - 2 employees ?
Rationale: "i ' m going in on this one . so let ' s say that we have the following so we know that l 1 = 72 and that c and l 1 = 0.10 x , we should set up a double set matrix btw but anyways , i ' m just explaining the point with this problem . now we are told that 0.1 x = 20 , therefore the grand total is 200 . now we know that l 2 is 200 - 72 = 128 . we also learn that c and no c are equally represented thus 100 each . therefore no c and no l 2 will be 100 - 52 = 48 . thus b is the correct answer choice"
annotated_formula: divide(subtract(divide(20, divide(10, const_100)), 72), 2)
