5 employees complained5 x 4 = 20 employees had the same complaint but were silent20 + 5 = 25 employees / 200 total employees = 12.5% have the grievance

Of your employees, 70% are happy with work conditions and 30% are happy with pay, and 10% are happy with both. What percent are happy with work conditions but not pay?

70% - 10% = 60%

(Round to the nearest worker.)

Current work time per year = 100 workers x (52-2) weeks = 5,000 worker-weeksTo maintain production, we need 5,000 worker-weeks = W workers x (52-3) weeks with the new vacation scheduleW = 5,000 / (52-3) = 102 workers. You need 2 additional workers
