Question

63% of employees in a company are female. If the number of male employees is 111, then the total number of employees is
1. 270
2. 290
3. 300
4. 310

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 300

Given: 

The number of male employees = 111

The number of female employees = 63% of total employees 

Calculations:

Let the total number of employees be 'x'

The number of male employees = (100 - 63)% of x

⇒ 111 = 37% of x 

⇒ 111 = (37/100) × x

⇒ x = 111 × 100/37

⇒ x = 300

∴ The total number of employees in a company is 300
