"let ' s see , the way i did it was 1 / 4 are clerical out of 3600 so 900 are clerical 900 reduced by 1 / 4 is 900 * 1 / 4 so it reduced 225 people , so there is 675 clerical people left but since 225 people left , it also reduced from the total of 3600 so there are 3375 people total since 675 clerical left / 3375 people total you get ( c ) 20 %"
