Answer 5

there are "n" more males employees than female employees. If there are "k" male employees at a company, what fraction of the employees are male, in terms of n and k?

Forget the 'In terms of n and k' --> It gets confusing otherwise. :D


So the ACTUAL QUESTION is.
there are "n" more males employees than female employees. If there are "k" male employees at a company, what fraction of the employees are male?

Answer:

male employees = k

if males are n more, we can say that female emps. are n less.
So female = k-n

So

Male emps. = male/total = k/(k + k-n) = k/(2k -n)

Got it? :)
