there are 400 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 .
as per question stem 2 / 5 m ( portion of men employees who are managers ) + 400 ( 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 + 400 = 2 / 5 t , or 2 / 5 ( t - m ) = 400 , from here we get that t - m = 1000 , that would be total number of female employees and the answer ( c )
divide(400, divide(2, 5))
