Question

In 2005, 12.9 out ofevery 50 employees at a company were women. If there are 43,583 total company employees, estimate the number of women.

Answer 1

w/43,583 = 12.9/50

multiply both sides by 43,583

w = 12.9(43,583)/50 = 11,244.414

= about 11,244 women

in a group of 43,583, if 12.9 of 50 are women
