The following data describes the staff of a Five Star Corporation across Professional and Managerial grades. The women in the Professional grade number 90 in all, spread across categories that include Legal with 30 and HR with 15. The women in the Managerial grade number 30 in all. There are five times as many men in the Professional grade as there are women in that grade. The Corporation employs a total of 1300 staff across the Professional and Managerial grades together, and these two grades form 8 percent of the total workforce. Based on the data, answer the questions that follow.
In total, how many staff members (both men and women) are employed in the Professional grades of the Corporation?
The total in the Professional grades is 540, so the answer is 540.
The women in the Professional grade number 90 in all.
The men in that grade are five times the women.
So the men number five times 90, which is 450.
The total is the women plus the men.
That is 90 plus 450, which is 540.
So the answer is 540.
