Math Problem
 

A secretary received 1547 calls in 45 work days.

A work day is 8 hrs.

Assume each call lasted 1 minute each.

How much time was spent per day on the phone?

Sorry I am slow, received 1547 calls?

Re: Math Problem
 

No, that was my bad - I left the word "calls" out.

She worked 21,600 minutes and spent 1547 minutes on these calls.

Thats a little over 7% of her time.

34-35 minutes

How many minutes per day did these calls take?

Are you sure? The question was, "How much time was spent per day on the phone?"

Calling her coworkers, kids, sitter, girlfriends, husband, pet sitter and the local 900 astrology hotline would add substantially to her totals.

BINGO!

Just checking my brain.

My boss has been doing an analysis for YEARS WRONG!!!!!!! I just found the error.

She had reported the lady spend 4.3 HOURS on the phone per day??????????????????

Re: Math Problem
 

still works out to 7% or what Ron said.
