Question

Veronica works 7.5 hour shifts each weekday and takes off 3 weeks during the year how many hours will Veronica work each year. A) 735hrs B)1950 C) 1837.5 D)780

Answer 1

she works 1837.5 hours per year.

Explanation:

recall that a year consists of 52 weeks. then if she takes off 3 weeks during the year, she in fact works (52 - 3 = 49) weeks per year.

During each week she works 5 days and each day she works 7.5 hours.

therefore, the total number of hours she works per week is : 5 * 7.5 hours = 37.5 hours per week.

Now during 49 weeks she would be working 49 * 37.5 hours = 1837.5 hours
