in 2005, 11.2 out of every 50 employees at a company were women


let x be number of woman out of 41285 total company employees then we have the following proportion


11.2 : 50 = x : 41285


x = (41285 * 11.2)/50


x = 9247.84


the number of women is 9247.84 or if we round it since we can not have 0.84 of a woman employee, is it 9248.
