Answer:
c. 309
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello
to solve the problem we will use a rule of three
Step 1
82.5% ⇒ 254 emp
100% ⇒ xemp
[tex]x\emp\ (82.25\%)=254\emp*100\%\\\x\ emp\ =\frac{254\ emp*100\%}{(82.25\%)}\\ X=308.8145897\\[/tex]
x represents number of employees so it must be a positive integer
x=309
step 2
prove 1
x*(82.25/100)=308*(82.25/100)
82.25 % of x = 254.1525
x=254, ok
note:
It is rounded to 254 because the percentage given in the exercise is not accurate, it should be 82.20064725%
Have a great day.
