Given the statement:
An international company has 24,400 employees in one country.
Determine the total number of employees if the value only represents 24.9% of the company's employees.
Solution:
In order to determine the total number of employees, we simply need to divide 24,400 by the decimal value of 24.9%. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 24.9/100
= 0.249
= 24,400/0.249
= 97,992
Final answer:
The total number of employees is 97,992.
