At Veridux Corporation, there are 218 employees. Of these, 90 are female, and the rest are males. There are a total of 40 managers, and the rest of the employees are associates. If there are a total of 135 male associates, how many female managers are there?	Choose the most appropriate option
A) 15
B) 20
C) 25
D) 30
E) 47
Well, first letâ€™s take care of the â€œtotalsâ€. The numbers in the â€œtotalsâ€ row must add up. If 90 are females, the other 218 â€“ 90 = 128 must be males. Similarly, the numbers in the â€œtotalsâ€ column must add up. If 40 are managers, then the other 218 â€“ 40 = 178 must be associates.   Now, in the â€œassociateâ€ row, 135 + E = 178, which means E = 43 â€” the other 43 associates must be female.   Now, to find B, which is what the question is asking, we need only look at the sum in the â€œfemaleâ€ column: B + 43 = 90, which means B = 47. There are fifteen female managers in this company. Thus, the answer = 47 (47).
