Final answer:

To determine the total number of employees for the international company, the provided percentage (28.4%) and the number of employees in one country (26,800) were used to calculate the total. Using the formula Part = (Percentage x Total)/100 and solving for Total, the answer was found to be approximately 94,366 employees after rounding to the nearest whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to find the total number of employees in an international company if 26,800 employees represent 28.4% of the company's employees. To solve this, we use the formula:

Part = (Percentage × Total)/100

Substituting the known values, we get:

26,800 = (28.4% × Total)/100

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing by 28.4 to isolate 'Total', we have:

Total = (26,800 × 100)/28.4

Total = 94,366.1972

When we round this to the nearest whole number, the total number of employees is approximately 94,366 employees, which corresponds to option A.
