To find the number of employees in the company based on the given ratio of supervisors to employees, we begin by establishing the ratio of supervisors to employees:
For every 3 supervisors, there are 30 employees.
Next, we can express the relationship in terms of a multiplier \( x \):
- Number of Supervisors = \( 3x \)
- Number of Employees = \( 30x \)
According to the problem, there are 282 supervisors in the company. Hence, we can set up the equation:
\[ 3x = 282 \]
To find \( x \), we divide both sides of the equation by 3:
\[ x = \frac{282}{3} = 94 \]
Now we can find the number of employees using the equation for employees:
\[ \text{Number of Employees} = 30x = 30 \times 94 = 2820 \]
Thus, the total number of employees in the company is:
\[ \boxed{2820} \]
