Answer:
Finding a dime, 5/10
Finding a penny, 2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
add up the total number of coins, 10, and put the number of dimes over it
5/10
add up the total number of coins, 10, and subtract a dime, so there is 9 coins, but 2 pennies so 2/9
We can solve
this problem by using the formula:
1 +
fractional increase = (original employees + new employees) / original employees
Lets say,
x = original
employees
Therefore
substituting the known values:
1 + 0.05 = (x
+ 30) / x
1.05 x = x +
30
0.05 x = 30
x = 600
Therefore
the number of employees working now is:
<span>x + 30</span>
<span>= 630
employees</span>
