30 percent of the 150 employees in the sales department received a holiday bonus
This means that 70% of the 150 employees did NOT receive a holiday bonus
70% of 150 = 105,
So, 105 sales people did NOT get a bonus
70 percent of the 250 employees in the production department received a holiday bonus
This means that 30% of the 250 employees did NOT receive a holiday bonus
30% of 250 = 75,
So, 75 production people did NOT get a bonus
Total # of people who did not get a bonus = 105 + 75 = 180
Total # of people in the entire company = 150 + 250 = 400
Percent of all employees who did not receive a holiday bonus = (100)(180)/400
= 45%
= B
