Of the employees in a company, 30 % are female who have a master degree. If 50 % of the female employees do not have a master degree, what percent of the employees in the company are female?
Select:
A) 50%
B) 70%
C) 60%
D) 66%
E) 65%
Let E be total no. of employees and F be total no of female employees.   Question asked what is F/E X 100%?   No. of female employees with Masters = 0.3 x E (From the question)   No. of female employees without masters = 0.5 x F (From the question)   Therefore No. of female employees with masters = F - 0.5 F = 0.5 F   The 2 expressions equal each other therefore 0.5F = 0.3E; F/E = 0.3/0.5 = 60%   Ans: 60%
