A309 ✓ Correct
B296

Correct answer: (A) 309
Explanation
The number of female employees is 309, so the answer is 309.
The Accounts department has 20 percent of 1800 employees, which is 360.
The male employees in Accounts are 5 percent of 1020, which is 51.
So the females are the total minus the males.
That is 360 minus 51.
That equals 309.
So the answer is 309.
