Question

The ratio of men to women working for a company is 5 to 4 . If there are 75 men working for the company, what is the total number of employees?

Answer 1

Men : Women = 5:4

5x + 4x = total no. of employees

5x = 75 = no. of men

x = 75 / 5

Therefore, x = 15

5x = 5*15 = 75 = no. of men

4x = 4*15 = 60 = no. of women

Therefore, the total no. of employees = 75 + 60 = 135 employees
