Answer:

Their headquarters contains <u>420000</u> employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The company has two office buildings which hold 30,000 employees.

The headquarters contains 14 times as many employees as the overseas branch.

Therefore, the number of employees in the headquarters is:

14 * 30000 = 420000 employees

Their headquarters contains 420000 employees.

I think we are to assume that one of the buildings is the headquarters and the other is the overseas branch, so this would be incorrect. We have to spit the number of employees for the 2 buildings. One will have 14 times more than the other. The answer should be under 30000.

14x + x = 30,000
15x=30,000
x=2,000
14x= 14(2,000)= 28,000
