Each worker will receive a base pay of $200 plus a bonus of $1000 that will be divided equally among the number of workers used to harvest the field.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let number of workers be x
basic pay = 200

bonus = 1000
bonus /worker = 1000/x
200 +1000/x = 325
200x +1000 = 325x
125x =1000
x= 8
number of workers = 8
