Choices:  A) 13%  B) 22.2%  C) 20%  D) 12.5%  E) 11.1%
Welcome, just post the question and the choices   Let's see, the way I did it was   1/6 are clerical out of 3600 so 600 are clerical   600 reduced by 1/4 is 1200*1/4   so it reduced 150 people , so there is 450 clerical people left   but since 150 people left, it also reduced from the total of 3600 so there are 3450 people total   since 450 clerical left / 3450 people total   you get (13%) 13%   13%nswer : 13%
