Explanation

Total technicians left = 50 + 160 + 200 + 180 = 590. Total technicians joined = 260 + 340 + 450 + 480 = 1530. Percentage = (590/1530) * 100 = 38.56%, which rounds to 39%.

Find the total number of Technicians who joined the company over the four years: 260 + 340 + 450 + 480 = 1530. Find the total number of Technicians who left: 50 + 160 + 200 + 180 = 590. The required percentage is (590 / 1530) * 100, which equals 38.56%, rounding to 39%.
