Hi there! The answer is 0 solutions.

First we need to work out the parenthesis (for instance possible by using rainbow technique).

Now subtract 12.

Now we can see that the right side of the equation is always 8 smaller than the left side of the equation. Because the right is always smaller, this equation cannot be solved. Therefore there are no solutions to this equation. The answer is 0 solutions.
Answer: 69
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original employee be x , this means that
116% of x = 80
= 80
116x = 8000
divide through by 116
x = 8000/116
x = 68.96551724
Since we are dealing with employees , therefore x ≈ 69
This means that there were 69 employees originally
the answer is D.
I dont know how to add work for a question like this, however, I know how I'd show work....
Draw a graph and stick a point in the IV quadrant and label it "original". Then next to it, draw another graph and stick a point in the III quadrant and label it "reflection"
TIP: if you do that, make sure the points are in the same location in each quadrant
