Answer 1

Using the simplification, company y has 17 number of part-time employees.

In the given question we have to find how many part-time employees does company y have.

From the question, company x has 50 employees and company y has 60 employees.

Both companies have the same number of full-time employees, but company y has 3 more than twice the number of part-time employees that company x has.

Let company x has A number of part-time employees.

According the given statement

Company y has number of part-time employees = 2A+3

Let company X and Y have B number of full-time employees.

So the total number of employees in company x;

A+B = 50....................(1)

The total number of employees in company x;

2A+3+B = 60

Subtract 3 on both side we get

2A+B=57....................(2)

Subtract Equation 2 and 1

2A+B-(A+B)=57-50

2A+B-A-B=57-50

A=7

Now putting the value of A in equation 1

7+B=50

Subtract 7 on both side we get

B=43

As, Company y has number of part-time employees = 2A+3

Company y has number of part-time employees = 2×7+3

Company y has number of part-time employees = 14+3

Company y has number of part-time employees = 17

Hence, company y has 17 number of part-time employees.
