Respuesta :

The total employees in the company is 79,930.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of employees the company have in one country = 23,100

This 23,100 employees represent 28.9% of the total employees on the company.

It was asked to find the number of employees does the company have in total.

To find the total employees :

Let us assume, the total employees be 'x'.

Therefore, 28.9% of the total employees is 23,100.

This information can be expressed in the form of equation to solve for x value.

⇒ [tex](28.9/100)\times x = 23,100[/tex]

⇒ [tex]0.289x = 23,100[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x = 23100 / 0.289[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x = 79,930[/tex]

Therefore, the total employees is 79,930.
