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.
