The total number of female employees in department F is what percent more than the total number of male employees working in department A?
The females in department F are 76 percent more than the males in department A, so the answer is 76.
Department F has 21 percent of the 8000 employees, which is 1680.
The males in department F are 12 percent of the 3000 company males, which is 360.
So the females in F are 1680 minus 360, which is 1320.
The males in department A are 25 percent of the 3000 company males, which is 750.
The excess of 1320 over 750 is 570.
570 as a percentage of 750 is 76 percent, so the answer is 76.
