the percentage of a partial amount

An international company has 25,700 employees in one country. If this represents 31.1% of the company's employees, how many employees does it have in total?

Round your answer to the nearest whole number

To find the total number of employees the company has, we use the formula:

\[
\text{Total Employees} = \frac{\text{Partial Employees}}{\text{Percentage in Decimal Form}}
\]

In this case:
- The number of employees in one country (partial employees) is 25,700.
- The percentage is 31.1%, which in decimal form is 0.311.

Now we can calculate:

\[
\text{Total Employees} = \frac{25,700}{0.311}
\]

Let's compute this.

\[
\text{Total Employees} \approx 82,639
\]

Therefore, the company has approximately 82,639 employees in total.
