Question 1014197: if the number of worker that lives in the united states is 40%, what is total number of workers if the remaining number of workers is 150? Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a = number of workers total.
the number who work in the united states is .4 * a
the number who work outside the united states is 150.
.4a + 150 = a
subtract .4a from both sides of the equation to get 150 = a - .4a
