If the number of employees who work in the Accounts department in Mumbai is 38 more than the number who work in the IT department in Gurgaon, then what is the number of employees who work in the Finance department in Mumbai?
The Finance department in Mumbai has 114 employees, so the answer is 114.
In Gurgaon IT is 100 minus 20 plus 20 plus 22, which is 38%, giving 700 times 0.38 equal to 266.
