The ration for women to men is: 

5:8 
104:x 

8x104=5x
832=5x 
832/5=x 
166.4 =x 

However, you cannot have 0.4 of a person, so the number of men is 166. 

Total number of employees are: 166+104=270 

Hope I helped :)

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The weight of large and small box are 18.25 kg and 13.25 kg respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of large and small box are x and y respectively.

It is given that a delivery of 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes has a total weight of 131 kilograms.

5x+3y=131                .... (1)

A delivery of 2 large boxes and 6 small boxes has a total weight of 116 kilograms.

2x+6y=116                .... (2)

On solving (1) and (2) using graphing calculator, we get

x=18.25

y=13.25

Therefore the weight of large and small box are 18.25 kg and 13.25 kg respectively.
