I think the answer is around 1.4 as you need to multiply the area by 1/9 after finding the real area.
(24% ÷ 100) × 8440= 2025.6
now we round 2025.6 which is 2026 employees
ANOTHER METHOD WOULD BE:
24% × 8440 = 2025.6 rounded to 2026
or 0.24 × 8440 = 2025.6 rounded to 2026

We have the question...
How many times does 3 go into 35?
Well, this is pretty simple all you have to do is count up by 3s until you get to the number. Remember, it doesn't have to be exact though. So, here we go count by threes 11 times. We get 33 from 3*11. Therefore, your answer will be 11 times.
The answer to your question is:
x^2 + 6/5x + 8/25;
