Answer 2

Calculation of the Number of Employees in the Department

To determine the number of employees working in the department, we can use the given information about the purchase of a refrigerator.

According to the information provided, the employees in the department collectively decided to purchase a refrigerator for 7200 rubles. However, three employees refused to participate in the purchase, resulting in the remaining employees having to pay 200 rubles more than originally planned.

Let's assume that the original plan was for each participating employee to contribute an equal amount towards the purchase. In this case, the additional 200 rubles paid by the remaining employees would be distributed equally among them.

To calculate the number of employees in the department, we can set up the following equation:

7200 / (x - 3) = (7200 + 200) / x

Where: - x is the total number of employees in the department

Simplifying the equation:

7200x = (7200 + 200)(x - 3)

Expanding and simplifying further:

7200x = 7200x - 21600 + 200x - 600

Combining like terms:

7200x - 7200x - 200x = -21600 - 600

Simplifying:

-200x = -22200

Dividing both sides by -200:

x = 111

Therefore, there are 111 employees working in the department.

Please note that this calculation assumes that the additional 200 rubles were distributed equally among the remaining employees.
