A tech company surveys its employees to assess remote work preferences. The survey reveals that 55% of employees prefer working remotely, while the remaining employees prefer working in the office. Of the employees who prefer remote work, 75% report high productivity. Among those who prefer working in the office, only 50% report high productivity. Which percentage of employees prefer working in the office and report high productivity?

Rationale

22.50% of employees prefer working in the office and report high productivity.

To find the percentage of employees who prefer working in the office and report high productivity, we first determine the total number of employees and their preferences. Given that 55% prefer remote work, this means 45% prefer working in the office. Since 50% of these office-preferring employees report high productivity, we calculate 50% of 45%, which yields 22.50%.

A (22.50%) CORRECT

This choice correctly represents the percentage of employees who prefer working in the office and report high productivity. By calculating 50% of the 45% of employees who prefer working in the office, we arrive at 22.50%, confirming this value as accurate.

B (27.50%) YOUR ANSWER

This option incorrectly assumes a different productivity rate or total percentage. It may arise from miscalculating the percentage of office workers or misinterpreting the productivity rates among different groups. The correct calculation based solely on the provided data leads to 22.50%, not 27.50%.

C (45%) YOUR ANSWER

This choice reflects the total percentage of employees who prefer working in the office, rather than those who report high productivity. While it accurately describes the preference distribution, it fails to account for the productivity factor, which is essential for this question.

D (50%) YOUR ANSWER

This option represents the percentage of office-preferring employees who report high productivity, but it does not express the percentage of the total employee base. Thus, it misrepresents the question's requirement to find the percentage of the overall employee population that prefers working in the office and is also productive.

Conclusion

The question requires a specific calculation of the percentage of employees who prefer office work and report high productivity. By correctly applying the data from the survey, we find that 22.50% of employees fit this description, while the other options either misinterpret the data or represent incorrect calculations. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate data interpretation in workplace surveys.

22.50% of employees prefer working in the office and report high productivity.
