In an organization of 4000 people travel by five modes of transport such as train, bus, metro, auto-rickshaw, and carpool. 50% of employees travel by train and 850 employees out of remaining travel by bus. Of the remaining employees, 50% of them travel by metro and 225 employees out of remaining travel by auto-rickshaw. What is the percentage of employees traveling by carpool out of total people in the organization? Correct Answer 8.75%

Given:

Total employees = 4000 

Calciulations:

50 % of total employees = 4000 ×  50/100

= 2000 employees.

The remaining employees are = 4000  2000

= 2000 employees

From the remaining employees 850 travel by bus.

So, the number of employees remaining = 2000 - 850

= 1150 employees

From 1150 employees, 50% travel by metro = 1150 ×  50 / 100

= 575 employees

So, the remaining employees now are = 1150 575

= 575 employees

From this, 225 employees travel by auto and the remaining travel by car- pool.

The remaining employees are = 575 - 225

= 350 employees

So, 350 employees travel by car- pool.

The percentage of employees travelling by carpool = 350/4000 × 100

= 8.75 %

∴ The percentage of employees traveling by carpool out of total people in the organization is 8.75%.
