Question

We have hired 85% of our Region's capacity of 500 employees. How many employees do we need to hire to be fully staffed?"

Supervisor: "We need to hire __________ employees."

Answer 1

If 85% of 500 was hired then 100 - 85 = 15% of 500 need to be hired or:

0.15*500 = 75

75 employees need to be hired to become fully staffed.
