Five workers have been hired to complete a job.  If one additional worker is hired, they could complete the job $4$ days earlier.  If the job needs to be completed $20$ days earlier, how many additional workers should be hired?

Each additional worker hired cuts the job time  by 4 days

 

So.....to cut the job by 20 days.....5 additional workers should be hired
