Question

An international company has 13,700 employees in one country. If this represents 21.1% of the company's employees, how many employees does it have in total?

Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

21.1% of the total company is 13, 700 (as stated in the word problem). Therefore, 0.211x = 13, 700. Divide 0.211 on both sides: 64, 928.9099. The nearest whole number would result in 64, 929 employees.
