Cross multiply 3000/90=3500/x
3000x=315,00 divide each side by 3000 and you get x=105 then take 105 and subtract from the original number of 90 and you get 15. So they need to hire 15 more instructors to keep the same student/teacher ratio.

A person hires his firm to build a Cb radio tower. The firm charges $100 for labor for the first ten feet.
After, that the cost of the labor for each succeeding 10 feet is $25 more than the preceding 10 feet. That is, the next feet will cost $125, the next 10 feet will cost $150, etc. How much will it cost to build a 90-foot tower?
