    Let's named variables, new workers as x and experienced workers sa y.

    We get two equations

    x+y = 68 ∧ 9.50x+14y=835

    From the first equation we have x=68-y, then replace in the second and get

    9.5 (68-y) + 14y = 835 = > 646 - 9.5y+14y=835

    4.5y = 835-646 = > 4.5y=189 = > y = 189/4.5 = 42

    when we replace y=42 in the x=68-42 = 26 we get x=26

    The correct answer is

    The number of new workers is 26!

    Good luck!
