Given that each tutor can manage up to 5 classes per week, and each class can take a maximum of 15 students, a single tutor can therefore handle up to 75 students per semester (5 classes * 15 students). With 350 students enrolled this semester, Strawman Ltd would need 350 / 75 = 4.67, which rounds up to 5 tutors to accommodate all students (since you can't hire a fraction of a tutor). Each tutor is paid $20,000, so the total budgeted salary for tutors this semester would be 5 * $20,000 = $100,000.
