Question

Last year there were 225 employees and 25 supervisors at Corpcon Company. If 27 more employees are hired, how many supervisors need to be hired in order to keep the same ratio?

Answer 1

In order to solve this, you need to put it into a fraction form.

First for every 225 employees there's 27 supervisors.
25 x
___ = ___
225 252

I got the 252 by adding 225+27(who are the new employees)

So then you need to cross multiply. And get them to equal the same number.

So 25×252= 6,300
Then Divide 6,300 by the old denominator 225.
6,300÷225= 28 new employees

Therefore there will be a total of 28 employees.

Hope this helped!
