A company has recently been hiring new employees today the company has 35% more employees than it did a year ago if there are currently 62,100 employees how many employees did the company have a year ago

Answer 1

Let's assume the number of employees the company had a year ago is x.
Since the company has 35% more employees today, the number of employees today is 1.35 times the number of employees a year ago.
Therefore, 1.35x = 62100.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 1.35, we get x = 62100 / 1.35 = 46000.
Therefore, the company had 46,000 employees a year ago.
