Company wise Distribution of Employees Preferring Modes of Transport

CompanyNumber of Employees who prefer their own VehiclesNumber of Employees who prefer MetroNumber of Employees who prefer Bus
A18468%24%
B7860%35%
C38455%30%
D18270%16%
E22072.5%15%

In an another company P, if the number of employees who prefer travelling by Metro is 25% more than the number of employees who prefer travelling by Metro from company B and the number of employees who prefer travelling by metro from company P is 45% of the total number of employees in that company, then the total number of employees in company E is _______________ % less than the total number of employees in company P.

The correct answer is \(32 \frac{4}{13} \% \)

Given:

The number of employees preferring metro in Company P = 25% more than the number of employees preferring metro in Company B

Calculation:

Employees using metro in Company B = (78 * 60)/5 = 936

The number of employees preferring metro in Company P = 1.25 * 936 = 1170

Let the total number of employees in Company P be "m".

The number of employees preferring metro in Company P;

⇒ 0.45m = 1170

⇒ m = 2600

Total number of employees in Company P = 2600

Total employees in Company E = 22000 ÷ 12.5 = 1760

Percentage difference = [(2600 - 1760 ) ÷ 2600] × 100 = 840 ÷ 13 = 32 \(\dfrac{4}{13}\)

∴ The total number of employees in Company E is approximately 32 \(\dfrac{4}{13}\) % less than the total number of employees in Company P.
