Answer:
Rounded to the nearest integer, the company has a total of 82,958 employees.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that an international company has 25,800 employees in one country, if this represents 31.1% of the companies employees, to determine how many employees does it have in total, the following calculation must be performed:
31.1 = 25,800
100 = X
100 x 25,800 / 31.1 = X
2,580,000 / 31.1 = X
82,958.1 = X
Thus, rounded to the nearest integer, the company has a total of 82,958 employees.
X = 15
X + 90 = 7x
X = 7x - 90
X - 7x = -90
-6x = 90
Divide both sides by -6
X = 15
Whatever% of anything, is just (whatever/100) * anything.
the syrup is going to be 5lbs total, that includes the sugar in it as well as the water mix.
keeping in mind that the syrup will be a 1.5% syrup, namely 1.5% of it will be sugar, the rest just water then, how much is 1.5% of 5?
well, is just(1.5/100) * 5 or 0.075, namely lbs.
so, 0.075 lbs will be sugar and the rest water, the rest will be 5 - 0.075, or 4.925 lbs.
Because this is a second degree equation you will have 2 solutions. When you take the square root of a number you have to account for both the positive and negative roots. Since the square root of 289 is 17 then your solutions are +17 and -17.
