There are 221 employees in a company. If there are 2 departments and the employees in the first department are 30% less than the employees in the second department, find the ratio of employees of the first department to the number of employees in the second department.
There are 221 employees in a company. If there are 2 departments and the employees in the first department are 30% less than the employees in the second department, find the ratio of employees of the first department to the number of employees in the second department. Correct Answer 7 : 10
Let the number of employees in the second department be x. The number of employees in the first department = x – 30% of x = 0.7x The total number of employees = 221 The total number of employees in terms of x = x + 0.7x = 1.7x 1.7x = 221 X = 130 The number of employees in the department second = 130 The number of employees in department first = 221 – 130 = 91 The ratio of employees in the first department to the ratio of employees in the second department = 91 : 130 = 7 : 10
