Question

If 5 percentage of workers in a factor are females and the number of male workers is 272 find the total number of workers in the factory?

Answer 1

Answer:

total number of workers in the factory is 286

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 5 percent of workers in a factory are females.

Thus, percent of male workers in factor $=100 - 5 = 95\%$

Also, given that number of male workers is 272

Let total workers of factor be $x$

Hence, we get

$95\%\hspace{0.1cm}of\hspace{0.1cm}x = 272\\\\ \frac{95}{100} \times x = 272\\\\ x = \frac{272 \times 100}{95}\\\\x = 286.3\\\\ x \approx 286$

Hence, total number of workers in the factory is 286
