Answer 1

Given in the question:

a.) Yahoo in Sunnyside currently has a staff of 6200 employees.

b.) Next month Yahoo will decrease its staff by 8%.

To be able to get how many people will be employed by Yahoo next month, we will be using this formula:

`\text{Employed Next Month = (Current No. of Staff) x (Remaining Percentage of Employed)}`

We get,

`\text{Employed Next Month = (6,200) x (}\frac{\text{100\% - 8\%}}{100\text{\%}}\text{)}`
`\text{Employed Next Month = (6,200) x (}\frac{92\text{\%}}{100\text{\%}}\text{)}`
`\text{Employed Next Month = (6,200) x (}0.92\text{)}`
`\text{Employed Next Month = }5,704`

Therefore, there will be 5,704 people employed by Yahoo next month.
