If 15 employees were absent, and those people constitute for 30%, how many total employees are there

If 15 employees were absent, and those absent people constitute for 30% of employees, how many total employees are there?

50 employees

When I don't have a calculator I try to manipulate the numbers to something I can play with. I doubled 15. Now 30 is 30% of 100. Half of that is 50. So 30% of 100=30 then 30% of 50=15

Total No. of Employees: 50.

Deduction:
Let total No. of Employees : x
30% of x = 15
or, 30x/100= 15
or, x= 15*100/30=50.

Another method: (non Algebric);

15 employees represents 30%=0.3 of total employees
Hence, 1 employee is equivalent to 0.3/15=1/50 of total employees;
Hence total no. of emploees, which is inverse of the 1/50 = 50.

15 employees = 30%

15 + 15 + 15 = 90% (45 employees)

If 15 employees = 30%, then 5 employees = 10%

90% + 10% = 100%
45 + 5 = 50 Employees in Total

To check answer:

100percent / 50 Employees x 15 employees = 30% of the Employees absent.

30% corresponds to 15
100% corresponds to 15/30 × 100 = 50
total = 50
----

50

If 30% = 15 then 10% = 5

Therefore 100% = 50

15 / x = 30 / 100
30x = 1500
x = 50
