Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find 38% of 7000, first convert 38% to a decimal. 38% is equivalent to $0.38$ (since $38\%=\frac{38}{100} = 0.38$).

Step2: Multiply by total number of employees

Now, multiply this decimal by the total number of employees (7000). So, $0.38\times7000$. Calculating this, $0.38\times7000 = 2660$.

Answer:

C. 2660
