Answer 1

Answer: 43,776

Step-by-step explanation

To find out how many employees the company had a year ago, we can use the information given. We know that the company currently has 60,800 employees, and they have 28% more employees than they did a year ago.

To calculate the number of employees a year ago, we need to subtract the 28% increase from the current number of employees.

First, we need to calculate the 28% increase:

28% of 60,800 = 0.28 * 60,800 = 17,024

Next, we subtract the increase from the current number of employees:

60,800 - 17,024 = 43,776

Therefore, the company had approximately 43,776 employees a year ago.

Answer:

  47500

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the number of employees a year ago if the number 60,800 is 28% more than a year ago.

Employees

Let e represent the number of employees a year ago. Then we have ...

  60,800 = e +0.28×e = 1.28e

  e = 60,800/1.28 = 47,500 . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of e

The number of employees a year ago was 47,500.
