Answer:
The answer to your question is 15 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Total number of people = 36
People who can win a prize = 1/4
People who do not win a prize = 1/3
People in the middle = ?
Process
1.- Calculate 1/4 of the people
36/4 = 9
9 people win a prize
2.- Calculate 1/3 of the people
36/3 = 12
12 people do not win a prize
3.- People in the middle
36 - 9 - 12
= 15
15 people win the second prize
Answer: 15 people get second prize
Step-by-step explanation:
The company's sales department has 36 people who are awarded prizes based on performance. If the top 1/4 of the sales team get first prize, it means that the number of people that will get the first price is
1/4 × 36 = 9
The bottom 1/3 get no prize, the remainder get second prize. It means that the number of people that will get no price is
1/3 × 36 = 12
If the remainder get second prize, it means that the number of people that gets the second price is
36 - (9 + 12 ) = 15
