Let x be the no. of executives, so company paid x*125 & 100*75
(1) The company has a total of 120 employees --> 100 are non exec. so x=20....sufficient
(2) The total amount that the company paid in bonuses to its employees was $10.000 --> x*125 + 100*75 = 10000......sufficient
Ans. D)

statement 1: sufficient
tells us that there are 20 executives since we already know that there are 100 non executives
statement 2: sufficient
since we already know that there are 100 non executives, we know that $75 x 100 = $7500.
$10,000 - $7,500 = $2500. Divide by $125 (executive price) to get the answer
