Solution

Number of employees in organisation B in 2007 = 120

=> Number of employees in organisation B in 2008 = $$\frac{95}{100} \times 120$$

= 114

Number of employees in organisation D in 2007 = 70

=> Number of employees in organisation D in 2008 = $$\frac{90}{100} \times 70$$

= 63

$$\therefore$$ Total number of employees in organisations B and C together in 2008

= 114 + 63 = 177
