company p had 15 percent more employees in december than it had in january . if company p had 450 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 = 450 j = 450 / 1.15 j = 45,000 / 115 = 392 thus b is the correct answer ."
divide(450, add(const_1, divide(15, const_100)))
