Challenge in a company, 65% of the workers are women. If 1,435 people work for the company
who aren't women, how many workers are there in all?

Use pencil and paper. Show two different
ways that you can solve this problem.


There are workers in all. (Type a whole number.)

Answer 1

You have 1,435 people in total so you take that number and multiply it by .45 cause there’s 45% male workers and you convert it to a decimal so you can multiply there are 645 male workers since you can’t have 3/4 a human

Explanation:

1435 x .45 =645.75
