Company B needs to hire 30 new employees. Ten percent (10%) of applicants do not meet the basic business requirements for the job, 12% of the remaining applicants do not pass the pre-screening assessment, 23% of those remaining applicants do not show up for the interview, and 5% of those remaining applicants fail the background investigation. How many applicants need to apply in order to meet the hiring target?

    How you get the answer is adding all of the percents together. (100-10=90-12=79.2-23=56.2-5=51.2)

    So if there were 100 applicants let’s say, 10% of 100 is 90 so 10 applicants did not meet the business requirements leaving 90. Then about 11 (10.8 exactly) people did not pass the pre-screening assessment. Leaving 79 people, 23% of the 79 people actually didn’t show up for the interview, and 23% of 79 is around 18 and 79-18 = 61. Then 5% of the 61 did not pass the background investigation, which is 4 (3.5) 61-4=57, so 57 applicants were left. The company only needs 30 people to hire so automatically you know 100 applicants who applied for the job is too many, use the numbers I gave you and use the same concept to find the exact answer.
