Fifteen percent of the workers at Nationwide Industries earn minimum wage. If 24 workers earn minimum wage, how many total workers are there at Nationwide Industries?

A. 4
B. 36
C. 160
D. 360

Respuesta :

15% = 24
100% = (100/15) * 24
= 160.

We know the formula: n/N= the percent
So we can find out the total workers: 24: 15%= (24 x 100): 15= 160 workers in all
