In a company, 70% of the workers are men. If 1,380 women work for the company, how many workers are there in all?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then 30% of the workers are women, and you have this equation

0.3x = 1380.

Solve it for x and get the number of workers

x = 1380%2F0.3.

Use your calculator.
