Answer:

9248

Explanation:

let x be the number of women out of 41285 total company employees then we have the following proportion

11.2 : 50 = x : 41285

x = (41285 * 11.2)/50

x = 9247.84

the number of women is 9247.84 or if we round it since we can not have 0.84 of a woman employee, is it 9248.
