Let the number of workers in the company be x.
\n" ); document.write( "This means that the number of non officer workers is x - 15
\n" ); document.write( "The total salary will be 95x
\n" ); document.write( "The officer salary will be 15 times 525 = 7875
\n" ); document.write( "The non officer salary total will be (x - 15) times 85 ie 85x - 1275
\n" ); document.write( "so 95x = 7875 + 85x -1275
\n" ); document.write( "95x = 85x + 6600
\n" ); document.write( "10x = 6600
\n" ); document.write( "so x = 660
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
