Question

In a company,55% of the workers are men. If 2,250 people work for the company who aren't men, how many. Workers are there in all?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

female workers:2250

% female workers:?

First, find the percentage of workers who aren't men since we are told the number of workers who aren't men

100-55=45

Therefore 45% of workers aren't men

Let the total number of workers =x

Now form an equation for the problem

$x \times \frac{45}{100} = 2250$

$x = 2250 \div \frac{45}{100}$

$x = 5000$

Therefore, there are 5000 workers in total
