Let x be the total number of employees.
\n" ); document.write( "3x/5 between 26-29
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "1- 3/5 = remainder
\n" ); document.write( "5/5-3/5=2/5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2x/5 * 2/3 =4x/15 under 26
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "3x/5 + 4x/15 + 14 = x LCD=15
\n" ); document.write( "9x+4x+210=15x Multiply each side by 15
\n" ); document.write( "-2x=-210
\n" ); document.write( "x=105
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "3/5 * 105 = 63
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "105-63=42
\n" ); document.write( "2/3 42=28
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "63+28+14=105
\n" ); document.write( ".
