Question

A manufacturing company with 450 employees begins a new product line and must increase their number of employees by 18%. How many total employees does the company now have?

Answer 1

You just multiply 450 by .18 and it'll give you the 18% you have to add to 450.
So the equation would look like:

450(.18)=81

Which you then add:

450+81= 531

So 531 is your total!

Answer 2

The total number of employees company have now are 531 .

Explanation:

As given

A manufacturing company with 450 employees begins a new product line and must increase their number of employees by 18%.

18% is written in the decimal form .

`= (18)/(100)`

= 0.18

Increase in number of employees = 0.18 × Number of employees in company .

= 0.18 × 450

= 81

Total number of employees company have now = Number of employees + Increase in number of employees

= 450 + 81

= 531

Therefore the total number of employees company have now are 531 .
