    In 1997 = 17697

    Because, each year, the number of employees is expected to decrease by 2.2%, find 2.2% of 17697 and subtract from the number.

    2.2/100 x 17697 = 38933.4/100 = 389.334

    ^that was calculating 2.2% of 17697. Now we subtract:

    17697.000

    - 389.334

    17307.666 =

    Round to the nearest whole number = 17308

    Answer: in 1998, the expected number of workers is 17308
