Answer 1

75

Explanation:

total number of employees to be staffed= 500

percentage of employees already staffed= 85%

therefore % of employees to be staffed= 100-85= 15%

number of employees to be staffed= 15% of 500

=[tex]\frac{15}{100}\times500[\tex]

=75

75 employees are needed to be hired for fully staffed

Answer 2

75

85% have been hired, so 15%, or 15 out of 100 remain to be hired. The capacity is 500 = 5×100, so 5×15 = 75 employees need to be hired.
