Question

800 employees work for the Metropolitan Transportation Company. 1/4 of these are college graduates, while 5/6 of the remainder are high school graduates. What part of the employees never graduated from high school?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/8

Explanations:

Total number of employees = 800

Number of college graduates = 1/4 of 800

Number of college graduates = 1/4 x 800

Number of college graduates = 200

The remainder = 800 - 200

The remainder = 600

Number of high school graduates = 5/6 of the remainder

Number of high school graduates = 5/6 x 600

Number of high school graduates = 500

Number of those that never graduated from high school = 800 - (200 + 500)

Number of those that never graduated from high school = 800 - 700

Number of those that never graduated from high school = 100

This is 1/8 of the total employees
