Question

In order to avoid a training violation, 85% of your store's employees must complete diversity training by the end of the week. You have 142 employees at your store and 91 have currently completed the training. How many more employees must complete the training by the end of the week to avoid a training violation?

Answer 1

there are 142 total employees

in order to avoid violations, 85% of the total employees have to complete it.
0.85(142) = 120.7...gonna have to round to 121 people who have to take it.

and if 91 have already taken it, that leaves (121 - 91) = 30 <== so 30 more people have to take it to avoid a violation
