In 2011, more than half of GenTex's expenses were related to raw materials, machinery, and plant maintenance.: Valid
If GenTex can reduce employee salaries by more than 2% for the year 2012, employee salaries will no longer be the company's largest expense.: Invalid
In 2011, GenTex spent more than twice as much on employee salaries as it did on machinery and plant maintenance.: Valid

1) In 2011, more than half of GenTex's expenses were related to raw materials, machinery, and plant maintenance.
Raw material expenses = 34%
Machinery and plant maintainance = 18%
Sum of both = 18+34 = 52% (which is more than half of the GenX total expenditure)
\\\\\ CORRECT /////
2) If GenTex can reduce employee salaries by more than 2% for the year 2012, employee salaries will no longer be the company's largest expense.
Current Employees salary expenditure = 38%
After 2% reduction = 38*98/100 = 37.24% (which is still the greatest expenditure of GenX)
\\\\\ INCORRECT /////
3) In 2011, GenTex spent more than twice as much on employee salaries as it did on machinery and plant maintenance.
Employees salary percent = 38%
Machinery and plant maintainance = 18%
So expenditure on employees salary is more than twice of that of machinery and plant maintainance.
\\\\\ CORRECT /////

For this "If GenTex can reduce employee salaries by more than 2% for the year 2012, employee salaries will no longer be the company's largest expense." do we make 2% of 38% or 2% of 100%
