Question

An international company has 11,100 employees in one country. If this represents 31.2% of the company's employees, how manyemployees does it have in total?Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

35,577 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of employees the company has = x

31.2% of the company's employees = 11,100

Thus:

`31.2\%\text{ of x=11,100}`

We solve for x.

`\begin{gathered} (31.2)/(100)* x=11,100 \\ 31.2x=11100*100 \\ x=(11100*100)/(31.2) \\ x=35,576.9 \\ x\approx35,577 \end{gathered}`

The company has 35,577 employees (to the nearest whole number) in total.
