Question

Our peak time this week will be 8:00a.m to 12:00 p.m which requires 32% more than the afternoon requirements of 473 agents

Answer 1

Let x be the number of agents required during peak hours. This value should be 32% more than the given number of agents in the afternoon which is 473.

                         x = 473 + 0.32(473)
                         
                         x = 624.36

Since, we cannot have the number of agents in decimal place, we round up the value. Thus, the number of agents required during peak hours is approximately equal to 625. 

Answer 2

Answer:

624

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of agents required during peak hours. This value should be 32% more than the given number of agents in the afternoon which is 473.

                        x = 473 + 0.32(473)

                         

                        x = 624.36

Since, our number of agents in decimal place, and after our decimal place, we have .36.

.36 ~ .46 = 624.45 ~ 624

Thus, the number of agents required during peak hours is approximately equal to 624.
