60% of males are more than 30 yrs old
40% of the males are less than 30 yrs old
Let +x+ = the number of males in company
+.4x+=+360+
+x+=+900+
---------------
Let +y+ = total employees in the company
900 males is 60% of the company
+900+=+.6%2Ay+
+y+=+900%2F.6+
+y+=+1500+
There are 1500 employees in the company
OK
