An international company has 12,700 employees in one country. If this represents 27.1% of the company's employees, how many employees does it have in total?

The international company has 46864 employees in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

An international company has 12,700 employees in one country.

And, this 12,700 employees represents 27.1% of the company's employees.

Therefore, the total number of employees can be found by calculating the 100% of the employees.

Let us assume that the total number of the employees be 'x'.

From the x number of employees, 12,700 employees were 27.1%

Now, framing the above statement in the equation form to solve for x:

⇒ 27.1 % of x = 12700

⇒ (27.1 / 100) x = 12700

⇒ 0.271 x = 12700

⇒ x = 12700 / 0.271

⇒ x = 46863.5 (which is approximately 46864 employees)

Therefore, the total number of employees is 46864.
