Question 46827: REPOST: Magazine Sales. A company specializing in magazine sales over the telephone found that in 2500 phone calls, 360 resulted in sales and were made by male callers, and 480 resulted in sales and were made by female callers. If the company gets twice as many sales per call with a woman�s voice than a man�s voice, then how many of the 2500 calls were made by females?

Thanks.

You first do 2500 divided by three
That results to 833.33 recuring. 833.33 x 2 = 1666.67
Females=1666.67
Males=2500-1666.67=833.33
So 1666.67 gets rounded to 1667 and 833.33 gets rounded to 833
So females did 1667 calls out of 2500 and males did 833 calls out of 2500
Lets check if it is correct 1667+833=2500
So it is correct
