    Question

    A company has five departments (A, B, C, D, and E). The table below shows the number of employees in each department over five years, as well as the percentage increase in employees for each department from 2019 to 2023.

    Calculate the total percentage increase in employees from 2019 to 2023 for the entire company. 

    A 600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 620 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 610 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 635 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total employees in 2019 = 120 + 100 + 90 + 110 + 80 = 500. Total employees in 2023 = 160 + 120 + 110 + 140 + 105 = 635. Percentage increase = (635−500)/500​ × 100 = 27%. Thus, the total number of employees in 2023 is approximately 635. Correct Answer: d
