    Question

    A company has 600 employees. It plans to increase its

    workforce by 15% in the next year. Additionally, due to a reorganization, 10% of the current employees will be laid off. After the increase and the layoffs, what will be the total number of employees in the company?
    A 630 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 610 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 650 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Calculate the increase in the number of employees: Increase = 15% of 600 Increase = 0.15 × 600 = 90 Calculate the total number of employees after the increase: Total after increase = Current Employees + Increase Total after increase = 600 + 90 = 690 Calculate the number of employees laid off: Layoffs = 10% of 600 Layoffs = 0.10 × 600 = 60 Calculate the total number of employees after layoffs: Total after layoffs = Total after increase - Layoffs Total after layoffs = 690 - 60 = 630 Answer: a) 630.
