Question

In one company, 20% of the workers in the technical department applied for vacation at the same time. If 12 workers applied for vacation, how many tech workers are there, altogether?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 60 tech workers altogether

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the total number of tech workers in the company

Out of X tech employees, 20 % applied for leaves

In totality, 12 tech employees are on leave

Thus,

$\frac{20}{100} * X = 12$

On solving the above mathematical equation, we get -

$X = \frac{12*100}{20} \\X = 60$

Hence, there are 60 tech workers altogether
