Break it down
"15 less than " means -15
"a number" means unknown or placeholder means x
"is equal to" means '='
'12' means 12
-15+x=12
add 15
x=27
11 is 97
12 is -7
13 is 75
14 is 2
15 is -40
I think there is a mistake in 16
17 is 13
18 is 5
Answer:
82991 employees
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to solve this would be to solve for 1% of the company's employees and use that value to solve for 100% (100%=the whole part, or the total). We know that
28300 = 34.1%
If we divide a number by itself, it turns into 1. Dividing both sides by 34.1, we get
829.912 = 1%
Then, we know that anything multiplied by 1 is equal to itself. We want to figure out 100%, or the whole part, so we can multiply both sides by 100 to get
100% = 82991
