Explanation / Answer

Monthly output of one worker = 2.344 (total loaves per labor-hour) x 160 (hours each worker works per month) = 375.04 loaves

Increased demand = 45% of 1,600 loaves per month

1,600 X .45 = 720 loaves per month

Additional worker required = 720/375.04 = 1.92

so 2 additional workers will be required to deal with increased demand.
