a company has 350 workers. the president of the company wants to know what percent increase in employmentwould be necessary for the number of workers to be greater than 375.

triciaal · Answer

number of workers  plus increase now number of workers more than 375
increase percentage let's use x 
350 + x%of 350 > 375
first, what % will give 375
x/100 (350) =25  means x = 7.142857
as a factor increases the product increases
7%of 350 =25
350 +7%(350) = 375

> 7% of 350 means > 25
350 + (> 7% of 350 ) = 350 + (> 25) =  >375
assuming we are only using whole number for the percentage increase then it would be 8% minimum increase to have >375 workers
