The international company has 46864 employees in total.
Explanation:
Given that,
An international company has 12,700 employees in one country.
And, this 12,700 employees represents 27.1% of the company's employees.
Therefore, the total number of employees can be found by calculating the 100% of the employees.
Let us assume that the total number of the employees be 'x'.
From the x number of employees, 12,700 employees were 27.1%
Now, framing the above statement in the equation form to solve for x :
⇒ 27.1 % of x = 12700
⇒ (27.1 / 100) x = 12700
⇒ 0.271 x = 12700
⇒ x = 12700 / 0.271
⇒ x = 46863.5 (which is approximately 46864 employees)
Therefore, the total number of employees is 46864.
