Women= 70%=?
Men= 100%-70%=30%=1,530
Women Workers= cross product (0.70*1,530)/0.3= 3,570
All workers= 1,530+3,570= 5,100

Answer:

About 5,100

Explanation:

If the company has 70% female workers then the other 30% or 1,530 are males. You would then divide 70/30 to get an answer of 2.3 which you would then multiply by 1,530 to get 3,570 or the number of female employees. and then add them together to get 5,100 for total amount of workers.
