Of the 3,600 employees of Company X, 16/25 are clerical. If the clerical staff were to be reduced by 1/4, what percent of the total number of the remaining employees would then be clerical?
Choose the correct answer.
A) 57% B) 22.2% C) 20% D) 12.5% E) 11.1%
Let's see, the way I did it was   16/25 are clerical out of 3600 so 2304 are clerical   2304 reduced by 1/4 is 2304*1/4   so it reduced 576 people , so there is 1728 clerical people left   but since 576 people left, it also reduced from the total of 3600 so there are 3024 people total   since 1728 clerical left / 3024 people total   you get (57%) 57%
