The pie chart shows the percentage distribution of the 2400 employees of a company among its departments.
If 40% of the employees in Sales and 25% of the employees in Production are women, how many women work in these two departments together?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 402
First each department’s employees are found from its share of 2400; then the given percentage of each gives the women.
Sales employees \(=20\%\) of \(2400=480\)
Women in Sales \(=40\%\) of \(480=192\)
Production employees \(=35\%\) of \(2400=840\)
Women in Production \(=25\%\) of \(840=210\)
Together \(=192+210=402\)
402 women work in Sales and Production together.
