We are given that the ratio of women employees to men employees in company F is 9:8. Let the number of women employees be 9x and the number of men employees be 8x, where x is the constant.
The total number of employees in company F is the sum of women and men employees:
‌ Total employees ‌=9x+8x=17x
From the image data, we know the total number of employees in company F is 561 .
Thus, we have:
17x=561
Solving for x :
x=‌

561

17

Now, the total number of employees is:
‌ Total employees ‌=17×33=561
Therefore, the correct answer is (1) 561.
