65% of the workers at Costco have a pet dog. If there are about 162 workers who have a dog, how many Costco employees are there in total? Write a proportion for this situation and solve.

249 (249.23)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of employees be denoted by x

According to the question

65% of x = 162

(65/100) * x = 162

(65x)/100 = 162

65 x = 162 * 100

65 x = 16200

x = 16200/65

x = 249.23

therefore total number of employees = 249 (you can't count people in fraction so omit the digits after the decimal)
