Answer: 675

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the starting amount of employees is 500 we can say that 100%=500.

Adding 35% more employees means that we're adding 35% to the existing 100%, which means we need to find 135% of 500.

To solve we must multiply 135% by 500. 135% as a decimal is 1.35, so we multiply 1.35(500)=675.

Therefore, they now have a total of 675 employees.
