Answer: 69
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original employee be x , this means that
116% of x = 80
[tex]\frac{116x}{100}[/tex] = 80
116x = 8000
divide through by 116
x = 8000/116
x = 68.96551724
Since we are dealing with employees , therefore x ≈ 69
This means that there were 69 employees originally
