Answer 1

Answer:

so correct option is A) 5%

Explanation:

given data

winter vacation = 75 %

winter and a summer vacation = 40%

neither a winter nor a summer vacation = 20%

to find out

what percent of the employees take a summer vacation but not a winter vacation

solution

we know that total is 100 % so

Winter vacation + Summer vacation - Both vacation + Neither vacation  = 100 %   ......................1

put here value we get

Winter vacation + Summer vacation - Both vacation + Neither vacation  = 100 %

75 % + Summer vacation - 40%  +  20% = 100 %

summer vacation =  45 %

so we get now Summer vacation but not winter vacation that is

Summer vacation but not winter vacation =  Summer vacation - both winter and a summer vacation      ...................2

Summer vacation but not winter vacation = 45% - 40 %

Summer vacation but not winter vacation = 5 %
