At a large factory there were 2300 men employed. If 15% were away sick, how many men were at work?

Answer 1

We can start by calculating the number of men who are absent due to sickness:

15% of 2300 = (15/100)*2300 = 345

So there are 345 men absent due to sickness.

To find the number of men who are at work, we need to subtract the number of absent men from the total number of men:

Number of men at work = Total number of men - Number of absent men
= 2300 - 345
= 1955

Therefore, there are 1955 men at work.
