Answer 2

Answer:

320

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN :

• 15% of the worker in a factory are male

• female workers is 272

TO FIND :

• total number of workers in the factory.

CONCEPT :

• The ratio of the quantity gives the idea of how many times one quantity is greater or smaller than the other quantity. The ratio is always a pure number; it doesn’t have any unit since it is a quotient of two quantities with the same unit.

• Also, always take the sum of the ratio at the denominator and anyone corresponding ratio at the numerator while solving for the particular ratio.

SOLUTION :

➨ let the total number of workers be x

➨ The Percentage of Females = 15 %

➨ The percentage of Male = ( 100 - 15 ) % = 85 %

➨ ∴ 85 % of x = 272

$\implies$ 85 / 100 x = 272

$\implies$ x = ( 272 x 100 / 85 )

$\implies$ 320

Hence the total number of workers in the factory is 320
