of the 3,600 employees of company x , 1 / 6 are clerical . if the clerical staff were to be reduced by 1 / 3 , 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 / 3 is 600 * 1 / 3 so it reduced 200 people , so there is 400 clerical people left but since 200 people left , it also reduced from the total of 3600 so there are 3400 people total since 400 clerical left / 3400 people total you get ( a ) 11.7 % answer : e"
multiply(divide(multiply(divide(1, 6), subtract(1, divide(1, 3))), add(multiply(divide(1, 6), subtract(1, divide(1, 3))), subtract(1, divide(1, 6)))), const_100)
