None of theses
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- The HR department has 110 employees, and they constitute 25% of the company's workforce.
- This means that the total number of employees in the company is \( 110 \times 4 = 440 \).
- The Finance department consists of \( \frac{2}{11} \) of total employees, which equals \( 440 \times \frac{2}{11} = 80 \) employees.
- Employees in Sales exceed those in Finance by 25%. Thus, Sales employees are \( 80 \times 1.25 = 100 \).
- Next, for the Housing and Security departments, their ratio is 3:7. Given total employees are 440, solving for exact numbers isn't required for answering the main question.
- In Finance, the male to female employee ratio is 3:5. Hence, females comprise \( \frac{5}{8} \times 80 = 50 \).
The total number of female employees in the Finance Department is 50.
Your answer seems correct.
