So, Increase = New Number - Original Number. Therefore, Increase = 283 - 147 which equals 136.
136 = 283 - 147.
Then you want to divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.
136/147 = 0.92
0.92 * 100 = 92.

Final Answer: The employee count has increased by 92%. I hope this helps.
