A company has 600 employees. It plans to increase its workforce by 15% in the next year. Additionally, due to a reorganization, 10% of the current employees will be laid off. After the increase and the layoffs, what will be the total number of employees in the company?

Calculate the increase in the number of employees: Increase = 15% of 600 Increase = 0.15 × 600 = 90 Calculate the total number of employees after the increase: Total after increase = Current Employees + Increase Total after increase = 600 + 90 = 690 Calculate the number of employees laid off: Layoffs = 10% of 600 Layoffs = 0.10 × 600 = 60 Calculate the total number of employees after layoffs: Total after layoffs = Total after increase - Layoffs Total after layoffs = 690 - 60 = 630 Answer: a) 630.
