Of the employees in a company, 40 % are female who have a master degree. If 20 % of the female employees do not have a master degree, what percent of the employees in the company are female?  Choose the correct choice from the following choices.
A) 54% B) 52% C) 50% D) 51% E) 55%
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 = 0.4 x E (From the question)   No. of female employees without masters = 0.2 x F (From the question)   Therefore No. of female employees with masters = F - 0.2 F = 0.8 F   The 2 expressions equal each other therefore 0.8F = 0.4E; F/E = 0.4/0.8 = 50%   Ans: 50%
