The total number of engineers recruited by company B in 2014 and 2017 is what percentage of the total number of engineers recruited by C during 2015 to 2019 ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Total number of engineers recruited by company B in 2014 and 2017
= 90 + 106 = 196
Total number of engineers recruited by C during 2015 to 2019
= 93 + 94 + 98 + 105 + 110
= 500
Required percentage = = \(\frac{196}{500}\) × 100
= 39.2%
