To find the percent of increase in the number of employees hired each year, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Percent Increase} = \left( \frac{\text{Increase in Employees}}{\text{Original Number of Employees}} \right) \times 100\% \] Given: - Last year, 100 new employees were hired. - This year, 139 new employees were hired. Let's calculate the percent of increase in the number of employees hired each year. Calculate the value by following steps: - step0: Calculate: \(\frac{\left(139-100\right)}{100}\times 100\) - step1: Remove the parentheses: \(\frac{139-100}{100}\times 100\) - step2: Subtract the numbers: \(\frac{39}{100}\times 100\) - step3: Reduce the numbers: \(39\times 1\) - step4: Simplify: \(39\) The percent of increase in the number of employees hired each year is 39%.
