Question

an international company has 28100 employees in one country. If this represents 31.3% of the companys employees, how many employees does it have in total

Answer 1

they have "x" in total, now, "x" is the 100%, and we know 28100 is the 31.3%, so.. what's "x"?

well
`\bf \begin{array}{ccllll} amount&\%\\ \textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\ x&100\\ 28100&31.3 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{28100}=\cfrac{100}{31.3}`

solve for "x"
