8% of the employees at a shop work part time. If there are 4 part time employees at the shop, how many employees are there in total?

50 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion which would be

4/x = 8/100

This shows 4 out of x people is the same as 8% of 100.

We divide 100 by 8, and then multiply by 4 to get 50.

We can check this by plugging 50 into the proportion.

4/50 = 0.08

8/100 = 0.08

There are 50 total employees at the shop.
