The number of men is more than the number of women. 20% of men and 25% of women are unmarried.
The number of unmarried men and unmarried women are equal. A total of 230 employees are unmarried.
What is the percentage of women . My son tried to solve it but the number of employees was in fractions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another solution.
We are given that a total of 230 employees are unmarried.
We are also given that the number of unmarried men and unmarried women are equal.
Hence, the number of unmarried men is half of 230, i.e. 115.
As well as the number of unmarried women is another half of 230, i.e. 115.
Next, we know that 115 unmarried men represent 20% of all men.
Hence, the number of all men is 5 times 115, i.e. 575.
We also know that 115 unmarried women represent 25% of all women.
Hence, the number of all women is 4 times 115, i.e. 460.
Thus, the total number of employees is 575+460 = 1035.
The percentage of women is = = 0.444444... = 44.4444...%.
