The total employees in the company is 79,930.

Explanation:

The number of employees the company have in one country = 23,100

This 23,100 employees represent 28.9% of the total employees on the company.

It was asked to find the number of employees does the company have in total.

To find the total employees :

Let us assume, the total employees be 'x'.

Therefore, 28.9% of the total employees is 23,100.

This information can be expressed in the form of equation to solve for x value.


(28.9/100)* x = 23,100


0.289x = 23,100


x = 23100 / 0.289


x = 79,930

Therefore, the total employees is 79,930.
