company p had 15 percent more employees in december than it had in january . if company p had 480 employees in december , how many employees did it have in january ?
"d = number of employees in december j = number of employees in january j x 1.15 = d j x 1.15 = 480 j = 480 / 1.15 j = 48,000 / 115 = 417 thus b is the correct answer ."
divide(480, add(const_1, divide(15, const_100)))
