An international company has 28,300 employees in one country. If this represents 34.1% of the company's employees, how many employees does it have in
total?
Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

82991 employees

Explanation:

One way to solve this would be to solve for 1% of the company's employees and use that value to solve for 100% (100%=the whole part, or the total). We know that

28300 = 34.1%

If we divide a number by itself, it turns into 1. Dividing both sides by 34.1, we get

829.912 = 1%

Then, we know that anything multiplied by 1 is equal to itself. We want to figure out 100%, or the whole part, so we can multiply both sides by 100 to get

100% = 82991
