1. Identify that \(2.5\%\) of the total number of employees, denoted as \(x\), is equal to \(110\).
\frac{2.5}{100} \times x = 110
2. Simplify the percentage:
\frac{2.5}{100} = \frac{1}{40}
3. Substitute the simplified value back into the equation:
\frac{1}{40} \times x = 110
4. Solve for \(x\) by multiplying both sides by \(40\):
x = 110 \times 40
5. Calculate to find:
x = 4400
6. Therefore, the total number of employees is \(4400\).
