Question

A company policy requires that, for every 50 employees, there must be 3 supervisors. If there are 276 supervisors at the company, how many employees does the company have?

Answer 1

3 supervisors/50 employees = 276 supervisors/x
Cross multiply
3x =13800
3x/3 = 13800/3
x = 4600
4600 employees

Answer 2

276 divided by 3 = 92

92 times 50 ( number if employees ) = 4,600
