Answer: 4400

Explanation:

Let the total number of people working in the company = x

% of women working in the company = 75%

Therefore population of women = ⁷⁵/₁₀₀ ˣ X

= 75x/100

Therefore population of men is = x - 75x/100

= 100x - 75x

--------------

100

= 25x/100

Now equate this to 1100 which is the number of men

25x/100 = 1100

To find x, multiply both side by 100

25x = 110000

divide by 25 x = 110000/25

x = 4400

Therefore, total number of worker in the company is 4400
