You can put this solution on YOUR website! 64 men, 1 job, 15 days.
1 man, 1 job,  days = 975 days.
The one-man rate is  jobs per day.
How many men, n, need 12 days to do this job?
 which is rate*time=jobs, and  is the rate for this number of men doing the job.
Solving for n, the count of the men in the 12-day group,
 men, but you cannot use a fraction of a man. Round-up makes more sense. Choose 82 men.
How many more men than 64 is n?
 more men.
