In a company there are 3 departments - IT, HR and Help Desk. In the IT department there are 125 employees and in the HR department the number of employees is 1/5th of IT. The helpdesk department has 20 employees less than total employees in IT and HR together. What is the total number of employees working in all three departments? Correct Answer 280

Employees in the IT department = 125
Employees in the HR department = 125 ÷ 5 = 25
Employees in the Helpdesk department = 125 + 25 - 20 = 130
Total number of employees in the company = 125 + 25 + 130 = 280

Hence, there are 280 employees in the company.
