Question

You have two employees. Employee A produces 10 handbags per hour while working and takes four 15-minute breaks during an eight hour day. Employee B produces 9 handbags per hour but only takes two 15-minute breaks per eight hour day. Which employee produces more handbags in a day?

Answer 1

Employee B, I believe produces more handbags in a day. 

Answer 2

Employee A:
Employee A produces 10 handbags per hour
takes four 15-minute breaks
eight hour day
We have then that the quantity produced is:
8 - 4 * 15 * (1/60) = 8 - 1 = 7 hours
(10) * (7) = 70 handbags.
Employee B:
Employee B produces 9 handbags per hour
two 15-minute breaks
eight hour day
We have then that the quantity produced is:
8 - 2 * 15 * (1/60) = 8 - 1/2 = 7.5 hours
(9) * (7.5) = 67.5 handbags.
Answer:
employee A produces more handbags in a day
