a= subtracting the no of employees of central office from total will give us the no of employees of south office, b= as we want mean no of employees per department i.e 3 therefore dividing the no of employees of south office by 3 that we get by subtracting from total will give us the mean employees per department.

Things to note: Break down the paragraph
33 = Total of Acme Corporation (Central + South)
3 Departments
2 Office Locations (Central Office and South Office)
No Overlap
Therefore, to determine the mean number of employees per department,
A) Total of 33 - Central Office (subtract it from 33)
B) Divide by # of departments (divide it by 3)
33 = Total of Acme Corporation (Central + South)
3 Departments
2 Office Locations (Central Office and South Office)
No Overlap
Therefore, to determine the mean number of employees per department,
A) Total of 33 - Central Office (subtract it from 33)
B) Divide by # of departments (divide it by 3)
