Question

In Sam's dry cleaning store, each employee can fold 49 shirts every hour. Assuming a level aggregate program how many employees will Sam need if to meet a demand of 4,420 shirts per day if everyone works an 8 hour shift? (Calculate your answer to one decimal - don't round number.)

Answer 1

11 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of shirts fold by each employee = 49 shirts per hour

Demand = 4,420 shirts per day

8 hour shift

Number of shirts fold by each employee in a day:

= 49 shirts per hour × 8 hours

= 392 shirts per day

Therefore, the number of employees needed to meet the demand is calculated as follows:

= Total demand per day ÷ Number of shirts fold by each employee in a day

= 4,420 ÷ 392

= 11.27 or 11 employees (Approx)
