Of the 3,600 employees of Company X, 1/3 are clerical. If the clerical staff were to be reduced by 1/3, what percent of the total number of the remaining employees would then be clerical?  Choose the correct choice from the following choices
A) 25% B) 22.2% C) 20% D) 12.5% E) 11.1%
Let's see, the way I did it was   1/3 are clerical out of 3600 so 1200 are clerical   1200 reduced by 1/3 is 1200*1/3   so it reduced 400 people , so there is 800 clerical people left   but since 400 people left, it also reduced from the total of 3600 so there are 3200 people total   since 800 clerical left / 3200 people total   you get (25%) 25%
