In a team of 12 persons, 1/3 are women and 2/3 are men. To obtain a team with 20% women how many men should be hired?

• In a team of 12 persons, 1/3 are women and 2/3 are men.
  means 4 women and 8 men.
  if 4 women make 20% of x persons , then
  x= 4*100/20 = 20.
  It men 8 men are to be hired so that 4 women make 20% of team of 20 persons.

• 12(1/3) = 4 so women = 4
  ==>men = 12-4 = 8
  if team needs 20% of women then men Will be 80%
  consider u want to hire "x" men
  so,
  (12+x)(80/100) = 8 + x
  so, x= 8

  ------------------------
  12 person in a team, 1/3 are women and 2/3 are men.
  Then, 4 women and 8 men.
  4 women makes 20%. Remaining men.
  Assume Human instead of women or men. Think multiplying 20% by which number will make the team 100% .
  The number is 5 (5*20%=100%), so 5* 4= 20.
  4 is women and rest is men.
  8 men are needed to hired.

• so women is 1/3*12= 4
  so if this makes 20% then no of total person be x.
  20%*x=4
  0.2*x=4
  x=20
  no of men=20-4=16
