Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
To determine the number of men paid weekly, follow these steps:
1. Determine the Number of Women Employed:
The company employs 100 people, 65 of whom are men. Therefore, the number of women is:
\[
\text{Number of women} = 100 - 65 = 35
\]
2. Determine the Total Number of People Paid Weekly:
60 people are paid weekly, and this includes all the women.
3. Calculate the Number of Men Paid Weekly:
Since all 35 women are paid weekly, the number of men paid weekly is:
\[
\text{Number of men paid weekly} = \text{Total people paid weekly} - \text{Number of women}
\]
\[
\text{Number of men paid weekly} = 60 - 35 = 25
\]
The number of men that are paid weekly is 25.
The correct answer is C. 25.
