Answer 1

Answer: 24% of all employees attend night school.

Step-by-step explanation: If 40% of all employees are men and 30% of the men attend night school, we can multiply 0.40 by 0.30 to get the percentage of men who attend night school: 12% or 0.12. To find the number of women who attend night school, multiply 0.20 by 0.60(assuming percentage of men and women add up to 100%) to get 12%. Add 12% and 12% to get 24% of all employees attend night school.
