Let n = number of workers who donated
28.5 n = 1653
n = 1653 / 28 . 5
n = 58

average = total / number of doners
28.50 = 1653 / number of doners
28.50 number of doners = 1653
number of doners = 1653/28.5 = 58
58 workers donated and average of $28.50 for a total of $1,653

let x be the number of people who donated.
average = 1653 / x
1653 / x = 28.5
x = 1653 / 28.5
x=58

Let x = no. of workers
x * $28.50 = $1,653.00
x = $1,653.00 / $28.50
x = 58
Answer: There are 58 workers.
The original equation:
58 workers @ $28.50 each = $1,653.00
