Question

Charles Lackey operates a bakery in Idaho Falls,
Idaho. Because of its excellent product and excellent loca-
tion, demand has increased by 25% in the last year. On far too
many occasions, customers have not been able to purchase
the bread of their choice. Because of the size of the store, no
new ovens can be added. At a staff meeting, one employee
suggested ways to load the ovens differently so that more
loaves of bread can be baked at one time. This new process
will require that the ovens be loaded by hand, requiring addi-
tional manpower. This is the only thing to be changed. If the
bakery makes 1,500 loaves per month with a labor produc-
tivity of 2.344 loaves per labor-hour, how many workers will
Lackey need to add? (Hint: Each worker works 160 hours per
month.)
