A certain company paid bonuses of $125 to each of its executive employees and $75 to each of its nonexecutive employees. If 100 of the employees were nonexecutives, how many were executives?

(1) The company has a total of 120 employees.
(2) The total amount that the company paid in bonuses to its employees was $10.000.

Kudos for a correct solution.

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

Answer D!

Here we are mistakenly assuming that company only consisting of Executive and Non Executive,what if company consists of other category employee that is not explicitly mentioned here. Statement 1 is not sufficient. Statement 2 is sufficient because we know the bonus

All employees can be divided in two categories, those who are executives and those who are not. Those two categories add up to 100%.
