Question

A worker submits the following data on a timesheet:

Week 1 – Total hours: 42 (including 4 hrs sick leave, 6 hrs travel)
Week 2 - Total hours: 46 (including 5 hrs travel)
What percentage of the recorded time did the worker spend traveling?
8.0%
11.0%
12.5%
14.5%
17.0%

Answer 1

12.5%

Explanation:

Given,

Week - 1, Total working hours = 42; Week - 2, Total working hours = 46.

Therefore, total working hours = (42 + 46) = 88 hours

Again, traveling hours in week 1 is 6 hours while in week 2 is 5 hours.

Therefore, total traveling time = (5+6) = 11 hours

The percentage of the recorded time spend as traveling = (Total traveling hours/total number of working hours) x 100

= (11/88)*100

= 12.5%
