Answer:

Total number of employees = 86,891 employees

Explanation:

Let

x = total number of employees

26.7% of x = 23,200

26.7/100 * x = 23,200

0.267 * x = 23,200

0.267x = 23,200

x = 23,200/0.267

x = 86,891.385767790

approximately 86,891 employees

Total number of employees = 86,891 employees
