I don't get it, why isn't it 1,000 again?

Wait, how does that work? I thought it would be back to 1,000!

Nope, you end up with 960, not 1,000.

You start with 1,000, lose 20%, then gain 20% of the reduced amount.

I feel like I’ve seen this type of problem before, and it seems like the final number should be less than 1,000, but I can't remember the exact calculations.

Wait, does the 20% increase apply to the original 1,000 or the reduced number? I’m not clear on that part.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think if you increase 800 by 20%, you get 960, so that might be the answer.

I think the 20% reduction means you end up with 800 emps at the end of the year, but I'm not sure how the increase works after that.

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. I'm pretty confident that option B is the correct answer.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know OmniScript is involved, but I'm not confident about the other part. Guess I'll have to think it through carefully.

I'm not totally confident on this one. I'll need to think it through carefully and show my work to make sure I get the right answer.
