If the average salary of all employees in a company is Rs. 5,000 per employee, the average salary of all 15 employees of technical staff is Rs. 6,500 per employee and that of non-technical staff is Rs. 4,500 per employee, what is the strength of non-technical staff in the company?
If the average salary of all employees in a company is Rs. 5,000 per employee, the average salary of all 15 employees of technical staff is Rs. 6,500 per employee and that of non-technical staff is Rs. 4,500 per employee, what is the strength of non-technical staff in the company? Correct Answer 45
Given:
The average salary of all employees in a company = Rs. 5,000 per employee.
The average salary of all 15 employees of technical staff = Rs. 6,500 per employee
The average salary of Non-technical staff = Rs. 4,500 per employee.
Concepts used:
Average salary = (Sum of salaries of all employees)/(Number of employees)
Calculation:
Let the total number of employees in the company be x.
Sum of salaries of all employees = Rs. 5,000 × x = Rs. 5,000x
According to questions
Sum of salaries of technical staff = Rs. 6,500 × 15 = Rs. 97,500
Number of non-technical staff = x – 15
So, Sum of salaries of non-technical staff = 4,500 × (x – 15) = 4,500x – 67,500
Sum of salaries of all employees = Sum of salaries of technical staff + Sum of salaries of non-technical staff
⇒ 5,000x = 97,500 + (4,500x – 67,500)
⇒ 5,000x – 4,500x = 97,500 – 67,500
⇒ 500x = 30,000
⇒ x = 60
Number of non-technical employees = 60 – 15 = 45
∴ There are 45 non-technical employees in the company.
