Let the number of employees in 2017 be 1000. 

Therefore, the number of employees in 2018 is 1100.

Also the number of employees in 2019 is 1210.

Hence we have:

 

2020

2021

% change

Number of employees

1000

1210

  

Head of departments

15% of 1000 = 150

16% of 1210 = 193.6

(193.6–150)*100/150 = 29.07%

Managers

12% of 1000 = 120

15% 0f 1210 = 181.5

(181.5–120)*100/120 = 51.25%

Therefore, the required percentage point difference = 51.25% – 29.07% = 22.2%.
