In a factory with 400 employees , the ratio of the number of male employees to that of female employees is 5 : 3 , There are 87.5% regular , employees in the factory. If 92% of male employees are regular employees , then what is the percentage of regular female employees ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 80%
Employees = 400
The ratio of male and female employees = 5:3
let us assume male = 5x and female = 3x
now, 5x+3x = 400
8x= 400
Male employee= 50 x 5 = 250
Female employee = 50 x 3= 150
∵ 87.5%= 78, So the total of regular employees = (7/8)x 400 = 350
Regular male employees = 92 x 250/100 = 230
so regular female employees = 350-230= 120
∴ regular female employee = (120/150) x 100 = 80%
