Level 2 Percentage Problem


Level 2 Percentages Problem

Dell computer has two branches: one in ohio and second in texas: The total no. of employees in ohio office grew this year by 25% to 750 but the ratio of male to female employee is same as in the previous year. The no. of employees in the Texas office grew this year by 9.09% to 1200. The ratio of male to female employees last year in the texas office was 5:6 and the no of male employees in the ohio office was 20% less than that of texas office.

The total no of female employees this year in both the office is:

Solution:
                        Ohio                            texas
Last year: 600<-(2:1)                          (5:6)-> texas
                        (M:F)                           (M:F)
This year : 750<-(2:1)              unknown -> 1200
Since we don’t know the number of female employees in the texas office this year so we cant determine

The total no of employees in both the offices last year was:

Solution:

1100 + 600 = 1700

A shepherd had n goats in the year 2000. In 2001 the no of goats increased by 40%. In 2002 the no of goats declined to 70%. In 2003 the no of goats grew by 30%. In 2004, he sold 10% goats, then he had only 34,398 goats. The percentage increase of the no. of goats in the duration was:

Solution:

There is no need to use the no. of goats i.e., (34, 398) let initially there be 1000 goats then
1000à 1400 à 980 à 1274à 1146.6
Thus the % increase = 1146.6 -1000/1000 x 100 = 14.66%


 In the above question in which year the no of goats was minimum?

Solution:


In 2002 (980 goats) as per the flow chart
