Challenge in a company, 80% of the workers are women. If 400 people work for the company who aren't women, how many workers are there in all? Use pencil and paper. Show two different ways
that you can solve this problem.

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

Recognize that the number of non-women is 100%-80% = 20% of the workforce. There are two things you can do with that.

1) total/non-women = 100%/20% = x/400 ⇒ x = 400(100%/20%) = 2000

Effectively, we have computed 400/20% = 2000.

__

2) women/non-women = 80%/20% = w/400 ⇒ w = 400(80%/20%) = 1600

Then the total is ...

  women + non-women = 1600 +400 = 2000

__

The total number of employees is 2000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that ab is divided into equal parts as

ac, cd, de, ef, fg, gh, hi, ib.

from this we find that f is the midpoint of ab.

so using mid point formula we find

f = (3,7)

similarly considering fb, we get

h = mid point of fb = ((6,6) and g, mid point of fh is

g = (9/2, 13/2)

i is mid point of hb

so i =(15/2,11/2)
