Upon review: perhaps the question expects 1.5? But that doesnt make sense.
Alternatively, maybe miscalculation.
No: 25% of 8 is 2, total 10. 15% of 10 is 1.5.
But in modeling contexts, averages can be 1.5. However, the problem says how many, implying integer.
But to match format, and since other problems dont involve fractional people, likely a flaw — but we follow instruction.
But in the absence of instruction to round, and since 1.5 is not integer, but all prior answers are integers, likely the problem assumes exact computation — but thats invalid.
Alternatively, perhaps 15% of 10 is interpreted as 1.5, but we report 1.5? Not consistent.
But in the context of the problem, maybe its acceptable to leave as 1.5? No — prior answers are whole numbers.
Perhaps the total new employees are 2, and 15% of 10 is 1.5, but we take 1 or 2?
Looking back at original examples: all final answers are integers.
