Complete question :

In a company, 60% of the workers are men If 125 people work for the company who aren't men, how many workers are there in all? Use pencil and paper. Show two different ways that you can solve this problem.

313

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Percentage of workers who are men = 60%

Number of workers who aren't men = 125

Hence, percentage of workers who aren't men = (100% - 60%) = 40%

Thus;

40% of workers = 125

If ;

0.4 = 125

100% of the workers x

0.4 = 125

1 = x

Cross multiply

0.4x = 125

0.4x / 0.4 = 125 / 0.4

x = 312.5

Hence, total number of workers = 313

the answer will be

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
