Question

15% of the workers in the factory or female and the number of male workers are 272 find the total number of workers in the factory

Answer 1

Answer:

320

Step-by-step explanation:

85%=272

100%=320

Answer 2

let the total no of workers be x.

percentage of female=15%

percentage of male=(100-15)=85%

no of males=85% of x

therefore, 85% of x=272

85÷100×x=272

x=272×100÷85

x=320

hence the total no of workers in the factory is 320
