Of the 3,600 employees of Company X, 3/4 are clerical. If the clerical staff were to be reduced by 4/5, what percent of the total number of the remaining employees would then be clerical?	Choose the correct choice:  A) 37%  B) 22.2%  C) 20%  D) 12.5%  E) 11.1%
Let's see, the way I did it was   3/4 are clerical out of 3600 so 2700 are clerical   2700 reduced by 4/5 is 2700*4/5   so it reduced 2160 people , so there is 540 clerical people left   but since 2160 people left, it also reduced from the total of 3600 so there are 1440 people total   since 540 clerical left / 1440 people total   you get (37%) 37%
