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?
multiply(divide(multiply(divide(16, 25), subtract(1, divide(1, 4))), add(multiply(divide(16, 25), subtract(1, divide(1, 4))), subtract(1, divide(16, 25)))), const_100)
"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 ( a ) 57 %"
