Answer:

2300

Step-by-step explanation:

100% = men + women.

100% - 65% = men.

65% = women.

Let us assume W are workers.

W * (0.35) = 805.

We create an equation where we equate the amount of workers times the difference of % between women and men's, which is 35%.

Divide both sides by 0.35, giving us:

[tex]w*\frac{0.35}{0.35} =\frac{805}{0.35}[/tex]

0.35 divided by 0.35 is 1, and w * 1 = w.

[tex]w=\frac{805}{0.35}[/tex]

805 divided by 0.35 is 2300.

W = 2300.
