<span>Current
employee = 40 340
A year ago a company has 40 340 – 24% employee.
Simply subtract 24% of 40 340 from 40 340 to get the number of employees last
year
=> 24% = .24
=> 40 340 x 0.24
=> 9681.6
Now, let’s subtract this 24% from the total number of employees in the current
=> 40 340 – 9 681.6 or 9682
=> 30 658.4 or 30 658
The number of employee last year before it increased 24%</span>
(1/6) / (1/4) = x / 1....1/6 acre to 1/4 hr = x acres to 1 hr cross multiply because this is a proportion (1/4)(x) = (1/6)(1) 1/4x = 1/6 x = 1/6 * 4/1 x = 4/6 which reduces to 2/3....so she can mow 2/3 of an acre in 1 hr <=
