Question

Brendan worked 7 11/12 hours on Saturday, on Sunday he worked 84% of the hours he worked on Saturday. How many total hours do he work last weekend?

Answer 1

Answer:

$14\frac{17}{30}$hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Time worked on Saturday = $7\frac{11}{12}$

Unknown:

Total hours he worked last weekend  = ?

Solution:

Since Brendan worked 84% of the time he worked on Saturday on Sunday;

 Time worked on Sunday  = $\frac{84}{100}$  x $\frac{95}{12}$   = $\frac{133}{20}$  

Total time worked last weekend  = Time worked on Saturday + Time worked on Sunday;

Total time worked  =  $\frac{95}{12}$  +  $\frac{133}{20}$  

Total time worked = $\frac{475 + 399}{60}$

Total time worked  = $\frac{874}{60}$  

Total time worked = $\frac{437}{30}$   = $14\frac{17}{30}$hrs
