because of slumping sales a small company had to lay off some of its employees the ratios employees to employees laid off is 5 to 1 find the total number of employees if 22 are laid off

Respuesta :

The answer is 110 employees

To work this out, you times 22 (the amount of laid off employees) by 6 (the ratio added together) to get 132 employees.

However, you have to subtract 22 due to the laid off employees, giving you a final answer of 110 employees.

Let the number of employees to employees laid off be 5x and x.

Number of employees laid off=22

β†’x=22

So,Total Number of employees

Β  =22 Γ—5

Β  Β =110
