Employee demographics and project allocation of a new tech startup "Innovate Inc" Department Male Employees Female Employees Project A Project B Project C Engineering 60 40 30 50 20 Marketing 25 35 15 20 25 Sales 40 20 20 10 30 HR 10 15 5 10 10 Percentage of total budget allocated to each project.

If Innovate Inc. decides to increase the number of female employees in engineering by 25% and reduce the number of male employees in sales by 10%, what will be the approximate percentage change in the total number of employees?

The total number of employees initially is 60 + 40 + 25 + 35 + 40 + 20 + 10 + 15 = 245. Increasing female employees in engineering by 25 percent adds 10 employees (25 percent of 40), and reducing male employees in sales by 10 percent removes 4 employees (10 percent of 40), resulting in a net increase of 6 employees. The percentage change is calculated as (6 / 245) * 100, which is approximately 2.44 percent, or roughly a 2 percent increase.
