Answer:

Total employees this company have are 300 .

Option (D) is correct .

Explanation:

Formula


Percentage = (Part\ value* 100)/(Total\ value)

As given

There are 24 employees out sick one day at Imperial Hardware.

This is 8% of the total workforce.

Part value = 24

Percentage = 8%

Putting all the values in the formula


8 = (24* 100)/(Total\ value)


Total\ value= (24* 100)/(8)


Total\ value= 3* 100

Total value = 300

Therefore the total employees this company have are 300 .

Option (D) is correct .
