Employee bonus calculation

The company has 1,440 employees (men and women). 18.75% of all men and 22.5% of all women received bonuses for above-average results. A total of 20% of employees were rewarded with bonuses. How many men and how many women are employed in the company?

Final Answer:

m =  960
z =  480

Step-by-step explanation:


m+z = 1440

0.1875m + 0.225 z = 0.20 · 1440

m+z = 1440
0.1875·m + 0.225·z = 0.20 · 1440

m+z = 1440
0.1875m+0.225z = 288

Row 2 - 0.1875 · Row 1 → Row 2
m+z = 1440
0.04z = 18


z = 18/0.0375 = 480
m = 1440-z = 1440-480 = 960

m = 960
z = 480
