An office has 90 workers. 2/3rds of them are men and the rest are women. The company hires 10 new employees and 100% of them are women. What is the total percentage of women in the company now? Let's be accurate as possible.

1 / 3rd of the workers before the new hires were women because 1 - (2 / 3) = 1 / 3. There were 30 women working for the company before the new hires. There are now 40 women working for the company because 30 + 10 = 40. There are 100 people working for the company because 90 + 10 = 100. The proportion of women working in the company is .4 because 40 / 100 = .4. The percentage of women working in the company is now 40 because .4 x 100 = 40.
The answer: 40.
