Answer 1

Explanation:

An international company has 25,600 employees in one country. If this represents 19.3% of the company's employees, then the total number of employees that the international company has would be 100%.

To determine the actual value for 100%,

Let x represent the total number if employees that the international company has. Therefore

19.3/100 = 25,600/x

Cross multiplying,

19.3x = 25600 × 100 = 2560000

x = 2560000/19.3 = 132642.49

The total number of employees is approximately 132643
