Question

In a​ company, 85​% of the workers are men. If 360 people work for the company who​ aren't men​, how many workers are there in​ all? Use pencil and paper. Show two different ways that you can solve this problem.​

Answer 1

If 85% are men, then (100 - 85), 15% are not men

so, 15% are not men which means that 15% are 360 = 15% of x = 360

(x = total no. of workers)

so, x = 360 × $\frac{100}{15}$ = 2400

The total number of people = 2400

( sorry I didn't use pencil...)
