Based on the above, the employees of the company are 80% male and 20% female.
To determine the percentages of male and female employees in the company, one can use the mean annual salaries provided for each gender.
Let:
x be the number of male employees
F be the number of female employees
Let x represent the fraction of employees that are male. Then the average salary is ...
1560x +1260(1 -x) = 1500
300x +1260 = 1500
x = 240/300 . . . . . . do subtract 1260, and then divide by 300
x = 80%
The employees of the company are 80% male and 20% female.
