The maximum number of hours that can be allocated in a day is 21

Data given;

<h3>Percentage</h3>

This is the process of finding a fraction of a value multiplied by 100.

Let's find the actual figure allocated to employee pay.

6% of $3500 is;

$6/100 = x/ 3500\\x = 0.06*3500\\x = 210$

The percentage out of sale allocated for employee pay is $210

Now we know the actual amount allocated to employee pay and it is $210.

Divide the amount allocated to employee pay by $10:00 to find the actual hours we can allocate in a day.

$y = 210/10 = 21$

The maximum number of hours we can allocate in a day is 21 hours.
