Their headquarters contains 28000 employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of employees = 30000

Let,

Number of employees in headquarters = x

Number of employees in overseas branch = y

According to given statement;

x+y=30000     Eqn 1

x = 14y             Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

[tex]14y+y=30000\\15y=30000\\[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 15

[tex]\frac{15y}{15}=\frac{30000}{15}\\y=2000[/tex]

Putting y=2000 in Eqn 2

[tex]x=14(2000)\\x=28000[/tex]

Their headquarters contains 28000 employees.
