In June 2003, there were 80 full-time CBP Agriculture Specialists. If this increased by 15%, how many specialists were employed in June 2004?

The correct answer is: 92

To determine the number of CBP Agriculture Specialists employed in June 2004 after a 15% increase, you start by calculating 15% of the initial number of specialists, which is 80. First, you convert 15% into a decimal, which is 0.15. Then, multiply this decimal by the initial number of specialists: 0.15 x 80 = 12 This result of 12 represents the number of additional specialists hired due to the increase. To find the total number of specialists in June 2004, you add this increase to the original number of specialists: 80 + 12 = 92 Thus, the total number of CBP Agriculture Specialists employed in June 2004 is 92. This solution accurately reflects the calculation necessary to determine the increase based on the percentage provided.
