of the 3,600 employees of company x , 1 / 6 are clerical . if the clerical staff were to be reduced by 1 / 4 , what percent of the total number of the remaining employees would then be clerical ?
"welcome , just post the question and the choices let ' s see , the way i did it was 1 / 6 are clerical out of 3600 so 600 are clerical 600 reduced by 1 / 4 is 1200 * 1 / 4 so it reduced 150 people , so there is 450 clerical people left but since 150 people left , it also reduced from the total of 3600 so there are 3450 people total since 450 clerical left / 3450 people total you get ( a ) 13 % answer : a"
multiply(divide(multiply(divide(1, 6), subtract(1, divide(1, 4))), add(multiply(divide(1, 6), subtract(1, divide(1, 4))), subtract(1, divide(1, 6)))), const_100)
