Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the total number of women in the company. We know that 40% of the employees are women, so if we let x be the total number of employees, we can write:

Number of women = 40% of x = 0.4x

Let's then use the given ratio to determine the number of single women in the company. If the ratio of single women to married women is 2:5, we can write:

Number of single women = (2/7) * Number of women = (2/7) * 0.4x = 0.114x

We are also given that there are 30 married women. Since the total number of women is 0.4x, we can write:

Number of married women = 30

0.6x = 30

x = 50

Therefore, there are a total of 50 employees in this company.
