Question

total of 50 employees

Explanation:

Answer 2

Let’s solve this through using division and multiplication. If 15 employees were absent and that is 30% of the employees, we can divide by 3 to get 10% of the employees:

15 / 3 = 5

5 employees compensated for 10% of the employees.

10% • 10% = 100%

5 • 10 = 50

The total amount of employees at the job is 50.

The answer is 50 employees total.
