Company and employees

There are 370 employees in the company - women are 15% less than men. How many men work in the company?

Final Answer:

m =  200

Step-by-step explanation:


m+z = 370
z = m-0.15m

m+z = 370
z = m-0.15·m

m+z = 370
0.85m-z = 0

Row 2 - 0.85 · Row 1 → Row 2
m+z = 370
-1.85z = -314.5


z = -314.5/-1.85 = 170
m = 370-z = 370-170 = 200

m = 200
z = 170
