Company A's workforce consists of 10 percent managers and 90 percent software engineers. Company B's workforce consists of 30 percent managers, 10 percent software engineers, and 60 percent support staff. The two companies merge, every employee stays with the resulting company, and no new employees are added. If the resulting companyís workforce consists of 25 percent managers, what percent of the workforce originated from Company A?	Choose the correct option:
A) 10%
B) 20%
C) 25%
D) 50%
E) 75%
Let say Company A has x employes and B has y employees. Now they merge and total no of employees = x+y employees.   Per the question Company A's workforce consists of 10 percent managers and 90 percent software engineers. Company B's workforce consists of 30 percent managers, 10 percent software engineers, and 60 percent support staff. We translate it into equation as follows:   .1x + .3y = .25 (x+y)   =&gt; x + 3y =2.5 (x+y)   =&gt; .5y = 1.5x   =&gt; y=3x.   Now we know total employee = x+y. we need to find %age of x in total (x+y) ie x/(x+y) X100%   =&gt; x/(3x+x) [substitute y=3x] =&gt; x/4x X 100%   =&gt; .25 X 100 % =&gt; 25%.   ANSWER:25%
