Answer:

25%.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of Executives = 40

Number of customer service representatives = 120

Percentage of the employees that are executives =?

Next, we shall determine the total number of employees in the company. This can be obtained as follow:

Number of Executives = 40

Number of customer service representatives = 120

Total number of employees =?

Total number of employees = (Number of Executives) + (Number of customer service representatives)

Total number of employees = 40 + 120

Total number of employees = 160

Finally, we shall determine the percentage of the employees that are executives as follow:

Number of Executives = 40

Total number of employees = 160

Percentage of the employees that are executives =?

Percentage = Number of Executives/ total employees × 100

Percentage = 40/160 × 100

Percentage = 0.25 × 100

Percentage = 25%

Therefore, the percentage of the employees that are executives is 25%
