Question

- You work in the human resources department of a

company. Per the employee benefits package, each
employee earns 1 and 1/2 vacation days per month. You
need to calculate the total number of vacation days
that an employee earns in a year. How many total
vacation days will an employee earn in a year?

Answer 1

18 Days Off

Explanation:

Firstly, to solve this question you have to identify how many months are in a year; that's 12. So now we know:

• Each employee can take 1 1/2 days off in a month

• There are 12 months in a year

Making a formula for calculation is the best way to do this, especially since we now have all of the information needed to answer.

VacationDays=1
`(1)/(2)` × 12

Vacation days are the total number of vacation days in a year.

∴VD= 1
`(1)/(2)` x 12

VD= 18

∴Total vacation days equal 18

Each employee gets 18 vacation days in a year.
