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

The total employees the company now have is 531.

Solution:

Beginning employees in a company = 450

Percentage of employees increased = 18%

Number of increased employees = 18% of 450

`$=(18)/(100)* 450`

= 81

Total employees = Beginning employees + Increased employees

= 450 + 81

= 531

The total employees the company now have is 531.
