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.

employee A produces more handbags in a day
