Question

An international company has 14300 employees in one country. If this represents 26.1% of the company's employees, how many employees does it have in total?

Answer 1

The company has 150,794 employees

Explanation:

Assume that the total number of employees is x

We are given at 18.9% of the total number of employees is 28,500

Therefore:

18.9% of x = 28,500

0.189x = 28,500

x = = 150793.6

Since we cannot have a fraction of an employee, therefore, we MUST round the answer.

Here, we would round up.

Therefore, the total number of employees is 150794 employees

Hope this helps :)
