By what percent is the number of recruitments of LOs more or less in banks C, E and F taken together than in banks A, B and D taken together?
It is less by 37.11 percent, so the answer is less by 37.11 percent.
The LOs are 10 percent of the posts in each bank.
In C, E and F the total posts are 600 plus 450 plus 560, so the LOs are 10 percent of 1610, which is 161.
In A, B and D the total posts are 800 plus 940 plus 820, so the LOs are 10 percent of 2560, which is 256.
The C, E and F figure is smaller, and the difference is 256 minus 161, which is 95.
As a percentage of the A, B and D figure this is 95 over 256 times 100.
That is about 37.11 percent less.
