Complete question :
In a company, 60% of the workers are men If 125 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:
313
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Percentage of workers who are men = 60%
Number of workers who aren't men = 125
Hence, percentage of workers who aren't men = (100% - 60%) = 40%
Thus;
40% of workers = 125
If ;
0.4 = 125
100% of the workers x
0.4 = 125
1 = x
Cross multiply
0.4x = 125
0.4x / 0.4 = 125 / 0.4
x = 312.5
Hence, total number of workers = 313
