Answer / Isha Vishnoi

Let B be the number of boy students, G be the number of girl students, E be the total number of employees and T be the total number of students. We have three equations: B + G = T, 0.2B + 0.4G = (0.6 * E), and 0.35T = 0.35(B + G). Solving these equations gives us (0.7B + 0.6G) / (B + G) = 0.35E/T. Since we don't know the exact values of B, G and E, we can't find a specific percentage for employees who went to the outing.
