Question

The typical full-time employee in a particular hotel works a 40-hour week. Last month, the hotel's 80 employees worked a total of 4,000 hours. How many full-time equivalent (FTE) workers were employed by the hotel last month?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 25 FTEs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of hour week for full time employee = 40 hours

In a month we know that

Number of weeks = 4

Total number of hours in a month would be

$40\times 4\\\\=160\ hours$

If in last month, the hotel's 80 employees worked a total of 4000 hours,

So, Full time equivalent workers were employed by the hotel last month would be

$\dfrac{4000}{160}\\\\=25$

Hence, there are 25 FTEs.
