Question

An international company has 14,800 employees in one country. If this represents 31.4% of the company's employees, how many employees does it haw total? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.​

Answer 1

Answer: Let X be the total number of employees in the company.

According to the problem, 14,800 is 31.4% of X. We can write this information as:

14,800 = 0.314 X

To solve for X, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.314:

X = 14,800 / 0.314

X ≈ 47,133

Therefore, the company has approximately 47,133 employees in total. Rounded to the nearest whole number, this is 47,133.
