Breaking Down the Info:
There are 150 workers in total, so 75 live in Glenview. 1/6 of 150 is 30, so 30 live in Plainview. Among Glenview, 1/3 take the train to work. Then 25 people form Glenview take the train to work.
Among the 30 in Plainview, 44% take the train to work. 44% of 30 = 12 + 1.2 = 13.2 is not a whole number, so we will round here to get 13. Then adding 25 and 13 gives 38.

Company A has 150 workers.
Of these, half of them live in Glenview; so, 75 workers of company A live in Glenview. One-sixth of the company’s workers live in Plainview; therefore, 25 workers live in Plainview.
Of the 75 workers living in Glenview, 36 percent live in apartments.
36 percent = \(\frac{36 }{ 100}\) = \(\frac{9 }{ 25}\).
Therefore, number of Glenview workers living in apartments = \(\frac{9 }{ 25}\) * 75 = 27
A third of those living in apartments take the train to work.
Number of apartment dwelling workers in Glenview, who take the train to work = \(\frac{1}{3}\) * 27 = 9.
Of the 25 workers living in Plainview, 44 percent take the train to work.
44 percent = \(\frac{44 }{ 100}\) = \(\frac{11 }{ 25}\).
Number of Plainview workers taking the train to company A = \(\frac{11 }{ 25}\) * 25 = 11.
Number of company A’s workers taking the train to work from Glenview or Plainview = 9 + 11 = 20
The correct answer option is C.

Number of Plainview workers taking the train to company A = \(\frac{11 }{ 25}\) * 25 = 11.
Number of company A’s workers taking the train to work from Glenview or Plainview = 9 + 11 = 20
The correct answer option is C.
