Answer:

  • 80% male
  • 20% female

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the fraction of employees that are male. Then the average salary is ...

  1560x +1260(1 -x) = 1500

  300x +1260 = 1500

  x = 240/300 . . . . . . subtract 1260, divide by 300

  x = 80%

The employees of the company are 80% male and 20% female.
