Dangelo Costa · Answer 1

1 % of 110 = 1.1

x 6 = 6.6

round up because you can't have 0.6 of a person.

7 people a week.

250 - 110 = 140

140 divided by 7 = 20

20 weeks

Yusuf Nelson · Answer 2

110 x 1.06 = 116.6

Now if 116.6 is x repeat this step till you get 250 people

X x 1.06

, so it will take roughly 14-15 times to get 250 employees but 14 times is the closer one
