Last year, the number of employees at a company was equal to 600, and the ratio of men to women was 5:3. The company hired new employees with a men to women ratio of 1:2 this year, which made the new overall men to women ratio 4:3. How many new employees did the company hire this year?

• 135
  last year men=375
  women=225
  (375+x)/(225+2x)=4:3
  solving,x=45
  so, 3x=135
