We have the following information:
• An international company has 27,300 employees in one country, this represents 28.4% of the company's employees.
We need to determine the total number of employees of the international company.
To solve this exercise, we can follow the next steps:
1. Let x be the total number of employees of the international company. Then we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 28.4\%x=27300 \\ \\ \text{ Then we have:} \\ \\ \frac{28.4}{100}x=27300 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]2. And now, to solve for x, we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 28.4/100 as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{100}{28.4}*\frac{28.4}{100}x=\frac{100}{28.4}(\$27300) \\ \\ x=96126.7605634\approx96127\text{ \lparen rounded to the nearest whole number\rparen} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, in summary, the company has, in total, 96,127 employees.
