Question
- a company has 1,150 employees and plans to distribute bonuses equally among 18 departments. about how many employees are in each department? 50 employees 100 employees 30 employees 80 employees 7. which equation represents this model?
Step1: Divide total employees by number of departments
We want to find the number of employees per department. We divide the total number of employees ($1150$) by the number of departments ($18$). The formula is $\text{Number of employees per department}=\frac{1150}{18}$.
Step2: Calculate the quotient
$1150\div18\approx63.89$. Rounding to the nearest whole - number gives us about 64. But looking at the options provided in the image (which seem to be about estimating), we can also do a quick estimate. $1150\approx1140$, and $1140\div18 = 63.33\approx60$. Among the options, 60 is not there, and the closest reasonable estimate from the options in the image (if we assume we are doing a rough estimate) is 50 employees per department.
