Simple concept of percentage.
Calculation∶
Let the total number of staff be 100
Number of teachers,

Number of teachers earn more than Rs.37,325,
⇒ /100 = 24
Total number of staff earning more than Rs.37,325,
⇒ 50
Number of administrative staff earn more than Rs.37,325 = Total staff earning more than Rs.37,325 - No. of teachers earn more than Rs.37,325
