Step-by-step explanation:

for % questions always look for 100% or 1%. whatever is easier.

everything else can be calculated from there.

14,600 = 27.9%

1% = 14,600/27.9

100% = 100×1% = 100 × 14,600/27.9 = 52,329.7491... ≈

≈ 52,330 employees in total

Answer:

52,330 employees work at this company in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 14,600 is the population of 27.9% of the company's employees, then we can find the total # of employees by making fractions as part/whole and cross multiplying.

We are looking for the total # of employees, which is represented by x.

14,600 is the part of the company's # of employees, so we can make an equation of the part (14,600) over x (the whole population of the company) which equals the percentage of the company's employees that 14,600 takes up (27.9) over 100 ( the whole of a percentage).

[tex]\frac{14600}{x} =\frac{27.9}{100}[/tex]

Now we can cross multiply.

[tex]14600*100=27.9x[/tex]

Simplify this by multiplying on the left side of the equation.

[tex]1,460,000=27.9x[/tex]

Now we'll divide both sides by 27.9x so isolate x and find it's value.

[tex]52329.75=x[/tex]

We must round to the nearest whole number making our answer 52,330 employees.
