Validate

Solution:

Concept:

Percentage increase is calculated as the change in value divided by the original value, multiplied by

100

Explanation:

Number of temporary women workers on April

1 = 220

Number of temporary women workers on May

1 = 320

Increase in workers

= 320 - 220 = 100

Percentage increase

\text{Percentage increase} = \frac{100}{220} \times 100 \approx 45.45\%
