(1) The employees outnumber the cubicles 3 to 2.
Say there are 3x employees; thus, there are 2x cubicles and 3x – 2x = x offices
Percent of the employees that have offices = x/3x*100% = 33.33%. Sufficient.
(2) There are 50 offices.
We have information neither about the no. of employees nor about cubicles. Insufficient.
The correct answer: A
Hope this helps!
