Question

A restaurant has 44 waiters on permanent staff. It hires some temporary waiters during busy times of the year. Let t represent the number of temporary waiters and w represent the total number of waiters. Find the value of w when t=5.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since Total workers = Permanent + Temporary workers,

w = 44 + t.

Hence when t = 5, w = 44 + 5 = 49.
