Chucks bakery has observed a 22% increase in demand during the last year.On many occasions the customers were not able to purchase the cookie of their choice. Due to limited space, the bakery cannot add a new oven but can load the ovens differently more cookies can be baked at the same time. This new process will require the cookies to be loaded manually and therefore, requires additional manpower. The bakery currently makes 1,119cookies and has a labor productivity of 2.398cookies per labor-hour. Assuming this is the only change and each worker working 197hours/month, how many workers does the bakery need to add?
** the answer I got was not to add workers but the ones that are posted says 1worker needs to be added
