Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is 300.
Female employees are 63% of the total, so male employees are 100% - 63% = 37% of the total.
Let the total number of employees be x.
37% of x = 111
(37/100) x = 111
x = (111 x 100) / 37 = 300
Therefore, the total number of employees is 300.
