Question

An international company has 29,700 employees in one country. If this represents 29.8% of the company's employees, how many employees does it have in total? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Answer: 99,664 employees in total

Explanation:

So if 29.8% of the total people is 29,700 people then we could represent that by the equation.

29.8% * x = 29,700 where x is the total people.

0.298 * x = 29,700

0.298x = 29,700

x = 99,664.429

Rounded to the nearest whole number is 99,664

Answer 2

99, 664

Explanation:

Let company has total x employees.

`29.8 \% \: of \: x = 29700 \\ \\ 0.298x = 29700 \\ \\ x = (29700)/(0.298) \\ \\ x = 99,664.4295 \\ \\ x \approx \: 99,664 \:`
