    If there was an 8% reduction that means there are 92% were left:.92 (326) = 299.92 (round it off to nearest tenths, so it will become 300)

    Then, this number was then increased by 8%, to a total of 1.08 (300) = 324

    There were 324 employees after the July increase.

    Alternative solution:

    Reduction of 8% 326 x. 08 = 26.00 So there is 26 people who were reduced, so deduct that from the 326.326 - 26 = 300

    There is a remaining 300 employees. But there is an increase of 8%300 x. 08 = 24.00

    Add the 24 to the remaining, that is the total number of the employees in the factory,

    300 + 24 = 324 employees
