Explanation:

40.

Step1: Find price decrease amount

$25 - 20=5$

Step2: Calculate percent - decrease

$\frac{5}{25}\times100\% = 20\%$

Step1: Let the total number of employees be $x$.

Set up the equation $0.8x = 140$

Step2: Solve for $x$

$x=\frac{140}{0.8}=175$

Step1: Convert time period to years

One - year and six - months is $t = 1.5$ years.

Step2: Calculate simple interest

$I=P\times r\times t$, where $P = 2200$, $r=0.08$, and $t = 1.5$. So $I=2200\times0.08\times1.5=264$

Step3: Find the total amount

$A=P + I=2200+264 = 2464$
