Answer:

200 employees

Explanation:

The 30 female nurses at Memorial Medical Center make up 15% of the entire Med Center personnel. What is the total number of employees at Memorial Medical Center?

Let the total number of employees = x

Our Equation=

15% of x = 30 female nurses

15/100 × x = 30

15x /100 = 30

Cross Multiply

15x = 100 × 30

x = 3000/15

x = 200

Number of employees = 200
