Company X has 40 employees and company Y has 50 employees. Both companies have the same number of full time employees, but company Y has 4 more than twice the number of part-time employees that Company X has. How many part-time employees does Company Y have?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Let P be the number of part-time employees at Company X.
If Company Y has 10 more employees, then 2P+4 = P+10
Then P = 6 and the number of part-time employees at Company Y is 2(6)+4 = 16.
The answer is A.
