An international company has 15,400 employees in one country.17.2% If this represents of the company's employees, how many employees does it have in total?

Question

Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

To find the total number of employees in the company, we can use the percentage given. If 17.2% of the company's total employees equals 15,400, we can set up the following equation:

\[ 0.172 \times \text{Total Employees} = 15,400 \]

To find the total employees, we can rearrange the equation:

\[ \text{Total Employees} = \frac{15,400}{0.172} \]

Now, we can do the calculation:

\[ \text{Total Employees} \approx \frac{15,400}{0.172} \approx 89,535.14 \]

Rounding this to the nearest whole number, we get:

\[ \text{Total Employees} \approx 89,535 \]

Therefore, the company has approximately 89,535 employees in total.
