Question

A company has 29900 employees in one country. If this represent 18.3% of the company’s employees, how many employees does it have in total? Round answer to whole number

Answer 1

About 163 388 employees

Explanation:

Let total number of employees in the company be represented by x. Thus:

`18.3\% \: of \: x = 29900`

`18.3\% \:x \: = 29900`

`(18.3)/(100)x = 29900`

`0.183x = 29900`

Divide through by 0.183

`(0.183x)/(0.183) = (29900)/(0.183)`

`x = 163387.9`

`x = 163388 \: to \: nearest \: whole \: number`

The total number of employees in one country is about 163388
