Answer :
Assume that the total number of employees is x
Then 4% of x is 48
Change 4% to a normal number by dividing it by 100, then multiplying it by x and equating the product by 48
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{100}\times x=48 \\ 0.04x=48 \end{gathered}[/tex]Divide both sides by 0.04
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{0.04x}{0.04}=\frac{48}{0.04} \\ x=1200 \end{gathered}[/tex]The total number of employees is 1200 people
