Answer:

Approximately = 131 employees in total

Explanation:

if the 55 employees who work overtime make up approximately 42% of all employees at the company, how many employees are there in total?

Let us represent total number of employees = x

Hence,

42% of x = 55 employees

42/100 × x = 55

42x/100 = 55

Cross Multiply

42x = 100 × 54

x = 100 × 55/42

x = 130.95238095 employees

Therefore, there is approximately a total 131 employees
