In a company, 80% of the workers are women. if 1,140 people work for the company who aren’t women, how many workers are there in all

Answer 1

To find the total number of workers in a company where 80% are women, divide the number of non-women workers (1,140) by 20%. The total number of workers in the company is 5,700.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking how to calculate the total number of workers in a company given that 80% are women and 1,140 people are not women. To find the total number of workers, we need to understand that the 1,140 workers represent the 20% who are not women, since 100% - 80% = 20%. The next step is to use this information to find out the full 100%.

To calculate the total number of workers, we divide the number of non-women workers, 1,140, by 20% (or 0.20), which gives us the equation: 1,140 / 0.20 = 5,700 workers in total.

Therefore, the company has a total of 5,700 workers.
