Question

A company collects data on its employees. It finds that

. 20% of employees in each department are part-time,
80% of employees in each department are full-time, and
• each of the company's four departments has 45 employees.
How many part-time and full-time employees does the company have?

Answer 1

9 Part-time employees

36 full-time employee

Explanation:

20% multiply by 45 = 9

80% multioly by 45 =36

therefore to check if your answers are correct add 9 + 36 which gives you 45, the total number of employees in each company's four department.

Answer 2

The company has 144 full-time employees and 36 part-time employees.

Explanation:

The company has 144 full-time employees and 36 part-time employees because you have to do .20*45 to get 9 part-time employees per department. Then you can do 45-9 to get 36 full-time employees per department or you can do .8*45, either way is fine. Then you have to multiply 36 by 4 and 9 by 4 to get 144 full-time employees and 36 part-time employees.
