Answer:

A.) 336

  1. Step-by-step explanation: X/1400 5/100= 1400X5=7000
  2. 7000 divided by 100=70
  3. 1400-70=1330
  4. x/1330 20/100= 1330x20=26,600 divided by 100=266
  5. 266+70=336

It would be A.) 336 people because of you do 5 percent of 1400 workers it will be 1330 meaning 70 workers were laid off then 20 percent of 1330 would be 266 workers laid off. 266 plus 70 equals 336 so that’s your answer.
