Percentages question 25
Of the 1,200 employees of a Pune IT firm, 35% commute by metro. Of the remaining employees, 40% take a bus and the rest drive. How many employees drive?
- 300
- 312
- 468
- 420
Answer and explanation
Answer: C. 468
Explanation: Remaining after metro users = 65% of 1,200 = 780. Bus users = 40% of 780 = 312, so drivers = 780 − 312 = 468.
