Correct answer: A
Answer: 40%
Let the total number of employees = 100 (use 100 to work with percentages easily).
Men = 55% of 100 = 55; Women = 45% of 100 = 45.
Full-time workers = 30% of 100 = 30.
Full-time women = 60% of 30 = 18, so full-time men = 30 − 18 = 12.
Percentage of full-time workers who are men = (12/30) × 100 = 40%.
