Answer:
1,436
Explanation:
First multiply the growth rate by the number of hours.
3.25 x 5 = 16.25
Now multiply 1,235 by 100. = 123,500
And also multiply 1235 by the remainder percentage not being used(83.75)= 103,060.75
Now subtract 123,500 - 103,060.75 = 20,439.25
Divide this number by 100 = 204.3925 which is what 16.25% of 1,235 is.
1,235 + 204 = about 1,439 but since i rounded up a few times the answer is actually 1,435.6875 rounded up to 1,436
