Answer:

1,715

Step-by-step explanation:

100-65=35

x*(.65)=1,115

1,715

Answer:

3300

Step-by-step explanation:

workers other than men=100-65=35%

let number of workers=x

35% of x=1155

x=1155×100/35=3300

or

100-65=35

men:non men::65:35

or

[tex]\frac{men}{non~men} =\frac{65}{35} =\frac{13}{7} \\sum ~of~ratio=13+7=20\\let~total=x\\\frac{x}{1155} =\frac{20}{7} \\x=\frac{20}{7} \times 1155=3300[/tex]
