Answer 10

80% of your company’s staff is sales force
60% of the staff is male.

Answer 11

so how many are both male and in sales force

Answer 12

And \(70\%\) of the sales force, which is \(80\%\) of the company, is both male and in the sales force. So what is \(70\%\) of \(80\%\)?

Answer 13

70% of your company’s sales force is male
80% of your company’s staff is sales force

Meaning male and in sales force is 70% of 80%

Answer 14

k..wat of the question c ..

Answer 15

80% of your company’s staff is sales force
X % is male and in sales force

So assuming non male is female, that means 80% - X%

Answer 16

I HAD BOTH MEN AND IN DSALES FORCE TO BE 56 %

Answer 17

@wio

Answer 18

So what is 80% minus 56%?

Answer 19

24%

Answer 20

SO that means only males will be 70 - 56 = 14%

Answer 21

Nevermind, I misread the question.

Answer 22

I agree with @wio .

Answer 23

but what i dont get now is if there are 60% of males in the company, adding 14% that represents males to 56 that is the itersection will = 70%..does that mean the 60% in the question id useless>
