Question Details

The table below provides details regarding the number of men and women working at five distinct corporations (V, W, X, Y, and Z), along with the proportion of total personnel (men + women) who received a promotion at each corporation. Review the dataset to answer the question that follows.


Corporation Men Women % of personnel promoted
V 400 350 40%
W 260 100 80%
X 340 410 60%
Y 200 300 80%
Z 240 360 50%


Note: The total staff size at any corporation is the sum of the men and women working there.

Assuming that the ratio of men to women who received promotions at corporation V is 2 : 3, and that the count of men promoted at corporation W is 100% higher than the count of men promoted at corporation V, calculate the combined number of women who did not receive promotions at corporations V and W.

The correct option is 222.


Step-by-Step Breakdown:


1. Calculations for Corporation V:

From the table, Corporation V has:

• Number of men = 400
• Number of women = 350

Total personnel at Corporation V = 400 + 350 = 750

Percentage of personnel promoted at V = 40%

Total number of promoted personnel at V:

40%of750=40100×750=300

The ratio of promoted men to promoted women at V is 2 : 3.

• Men promoted at V =

22+3×300=25×300=120

• Women promoted at V =

32+3×300=35×300=180

Now, calculate the number of women who did not receive promotions at Corporation V:

Women NOT promoted at V = Total women at V - Women promoted at V

350-180=170


2. Calculations for Corporation W:

From the table, Corporation W has:

• Number of men = 260
• Number of women = 100

Total personnel at Corporation W = 260 + 100 = 360

Percentage of personnel promoted at W = 80%

Total number of promoted personnel at W:

80%of360=80100×360=288

Given that the count of men promoted at Corporation W is 100% higher than at Corporation V:

Men promoted at W = 120 + 100% of 120 = 120 + 120 = 240

Therefore, the number of women promoted at Corporation W is:

Women promoted at W = Total promoted at W - Men promoted at W

288-240=48

Now, calculate the number of women who did not receive promotions at Corporation W:

Women NOT promoted at W = Total women at W - Women promoted at W

100-48=52


3. Combined Number of Women Not Promoted at V and W:

Combined non-promoted women = (Women NOT promoted at V) + (Women NOT promoted at W)

170+52=222

Thus, the combined number of women who did not receive promotions at corporations V and W is 222.
