3 men
4 women
7 total
3 men/ 7 total = 198 men/ x total
using cross products
3*x = 7 * 198
divide each side by 3
x = 7*198/3
x = 462
There are 462 workers
If you mean 3 men and 1 women for a total of 4 workers when you state a ratio of men and women in a certain factory is 3 to 4.
3/4 =198/x
Using cross products
3x = 4* 198
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 = 4*198/3
x =264
264 workers
It all depends on how you define ratio of men and women in a certain factory is 3 to 4. This is incorrect phrasing and I took it to be men to women. You cannot have a ratio of men and women.

Answer:
$80, $48
Step-by-step explanation:
The original price was x.
The price is reduced by 40%. The markdown is 40% of x, or 0.4x.
The actual dollar amount of the markdown is $32.
That means that 0.4x must equal $32.
We set up an equation and solve for x, the original price.
0.4x = 32
Divide both sides by 0.4
x = 32/0.4
x = 80
The original price is $80.
The markdown is $32.
$80 - $32 = $48
The marked down price is $48.
Answer: $80, $48
