Let’s solve this through using division and multiplication. If 15 employees were absent and that is 30% of the employees, we can divide by 3 to get 10% of the employees:
15 / 3 = 5
5 employees compensated for 10% of the employees.
10% • 10% = 100%
5 • 10 = 50
The total amount of employees at the job is 50.
The answer is 50 employees total.
