in a certain company, 30 percent of men and 20 percent of women attend night school.
\n" ); document.write( "If 40 percent of all employees are men, what % of ALL employees attend night school?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = total no. of employees
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( ".4t = men
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( ".6t = women
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = per cent of all employees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "% men + % women = % total go to night school
\n" ); document.write( ".3(.4t) + .2(.6t) = xt
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".12t + .12t = xt
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".24t = xt
\n" ); document.write( "Divide equation by t
\n" ); document.write( ".24 = x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "24% go to night school\r
