    43.5%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that;

    The employees at a computer company are 65% females and 35% males.

    If the total number of employees at the computer company is P

    Number of female employees F = 65% of P = 0.65P

    Number of male employees M = 35% of P = 0.35P

    If 60% of the female employees have earned their master's degree and 50% of the male employees have earned their master's degree.

    Number of female employees have earned their master's degree is;

    F * = 60% of F = 0.60 * 0.65P = 0.39P

    Number of male employees have earned their master's degree is;

    M * = 50% of M = 0.50 * 0.35P = 0.175P

    Total number of employees that have earned their master's degree is;

    P * = F * + M * = 0.39P + 0.175P = 0.565P

    the percent of employees at the computer company who have not earned their master's degree is;

    P' = P - P * = P - 0.565P

    P' = 0.435P

    P' = 43.5% of the total number of employees.
