How many people in the office work in sales?

Answer 1

154 people work in marketing.

55 people work in sales.

Explanation:

For every 5 people employed in sales, there are 14 employed in marketing.

This means that:

5/(5+14) = 5/19 of people work in sales.

14/(5+14) = 14/19 of people work in marketing.

Total of 209 people:

14*209/19 = 154

154 people work in marketing.

5*209/19 = 55

55 people work in sales.
