The number of graduate employees working in department C is what percent of the number of post-graduate employees working in department E?
The graduates in department C are 260 percent of the post-graduates in department E, so the answer is 260.
The graduates in the company number 4800 in all.
Department C holds 13 percent of these graduates, which is 624.
Department E has 15 percent of the 8000 employees, which is 1200.
Department E holds 20 percent of the graduates, which is 960.
So the post-graduates in E are 1200 minus 960, which is 240.
Then 624 as a percentage of 240 is 260 percent, so the answer is 260.
