I really do not understand why it is clear, that it is x/8=3. It is not mentioned that the given fractions are respectively why couldn't it be x/6=3 ?
Hi
This is because 1/8 of a positive number will always be lesser than 1/6 of that number. So if total number of salespeople are n, then n/8 must be < n/6
So here n/8 can only be 3 not 4.
