A company employee= x/3

x+x/3÷2=718

×=1077

359+1=360

Answer 2

The total number of employees in company A at present is 360.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let the company B has x numbers of employees.

A was 1/3 rd the number of employees in company B.

That means the number of employees in company A was $\dfrac{1}{3}x$.

The average number of employees of both the companies was 718.

$Average=\frac{\text{Total employees}}{\text{Number of the observation}}$

$718=\frac{\text{Total employees}}{2}\\\\\text{Total employees}=1436$

According to question.

$x+\frac{1}{3}x= 1436\\\frac{4}{3}x=1436\\x=1077$

The number of employees in company A was $\dfrac{1}{3}(1077)=359$.

Company A recruited one more employee this month.

So, the total number of employees in company A at present 359+1=360.
