\n" ); document.write( "40% of vero's postal service employees are women. If there are 80 women in Vero's postal service, how many men are employed there?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using the formula below how can you get the correct answer?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " part %
\n" ); document.write( " ---- = ----
\n" ); document.write( " whole 100 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "With 40%, or 80 employees being women, and with E being the amount of employees,
\n" ); document.write( "we get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"part%2Fwhole+=+percent%2F100\", or \"80%2FE+=+.4%2F1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".4E = 80 ------- Cross-multiplying\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "E, or amount of employees = \"80%2F.4\", or \"200\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "As 60% of these 200 employees are men, we can say that the number of men = \".6+%2A+200\", or \"highlight_green%28120%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "OR\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"part%2Fwhole+=+percent%2F100\", or \"M%2F200+=+.6%2F1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Number of men, or M = .6 * 200 ------- Cross-multiplying\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28M+=+120%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can do the check!! \r
