Let's first calculate the number of male employees who got promoted:
Number of male employees = 80
Percentage of male employees promoted = 5%
Number of male employees promoted = 80 x 5% = 4
Next, let's calculate the number of female employees who got promoted:
Number of female employees = 120
Percentage of female employees promoted = 10%
Number of female employees promoted = 120 x 10% = 12
Now, we add the number of male employees promoted and the number of female employees promoted to get the total number of employees promoted:
Total number of employees promoted = Number of male employees promoted + Number of female employees promoted
Total number of employees promoted = 4 + 12 = 16
Finally, we calculate the percentage of total employees promoted by dividing the total number of employees promoted by the total number of employees (male + female) and multiplying by 100:
Percentage of total employees promoted = (Total number of employees promoted / Total number of employees) x 100
Percentage of total employees promoted = (16 / (80 + 120)) x 100
Percentage of total employees promoted = (16 / 200) x 100
Percentage of total employees promoted = 8%
Therefore, the correct answer is option (c) 8%.
Number of male employees = 80
Percentage of male employees promoted = 5%
Number of male employees promoted = 80 x 5% = 4
Next, let's calculate the number of female employees who got promoted:
Number of female employees = 120
Percentage of female employees promoted = 10%
Number of female employees promoted = 120 x 10% = 12
Now, we add the number of male employees promoted and the number of female employees promoted to get the total number of employees promoted:
Total number of employees promoted = Number of male employees promoted + Number of female employees promoted
Total number of employees promoted = 4 + 12 = 16
Finally, we calculate the percentage of total employees promoted by dividing the total number of employees promoted by the total number of employees (male + female) and multiplying by 100:
Percentage of total employees promoted = (Total number of employees promoted / Total number of employees) x 100
Percentage of total employees promoted = (16 / (80 + 120)) x 100
Percentage of total employees promoted = (16 / 200) x 100
Percentage of total employees promoted = 8%
Therefore, the correct answer is option (c) 8%.
