Question

An international company has 22,700 employees in one country. If this represents 23.1 of the company's employees,how many employees does it have in total?

Answer 1

Answer: 98268

Explanation:

Given: In an international company,

Employees in one country = 22,700

If this is 23.1% of the total number of company's employees,

[
`1\%=\frac1{100}` , replace 'of' by '×']

i.e. 23.1% of (total employees) = 22700

`\Rightarrow\ (23.1)/(100)*\text{(total employees)}=22700\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Total employees}=(22700*100)/(23.1)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Total employees}=98268.4\approx98268`

Hence, there are 98268 employees in total.
