Question

A manufacturing company hired 30 new employees. This hiring increased the company’s total workforce by 5%. How many employees now work at this company?

Answer 1

If x be the initial no. of employees, then the final no. is x+ 30

now x+30=1.05 x

Therefore (1.05-1)x =30

0r 0.05 x= 30 Therefore x= 30/0.05 = 600

Therefore the present number of employees is 630.
