Question

A company has 29900 employees in one country. If this represent 18.3% of the company’s employees, how many employees does it have in total? Round answer to whole number

Answer 1

Answer:

About 163 388 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of employees in the company be represented by x. Thus:

$18.3\% \: of \: x = 29900$

$18.3\% \:x \: = 29900$

$\frac{18.3}{100}x = 29900$

$0.183x = 29900$

Divide through by 0.183

$\frac{0.183x}{0.183} = \frac{29900}{0.183}$

$x = 163387.9$

$x = 163388 \: to \: nearest \: whole \: number$

The total number of employees in one country is about 163388
