Problema Solution

If Employee A logged 120 hours of travel in four years and Employee B logged hours of travel at a 20% higher rate, how many more hours did Employee B have than Employee A after 1.5 years?

Answer provided by our tutors

The rate of employee A is: 120/4 = 30 hr/year

The rate of employee B is 20% higher: 30 + 0.20*30 = 36 hr/year

In 1.5 years the employee A will have: 1.5*30 = 45 hours

In 1.5 years the employee B will have:1.5*36 = 54 hours

54 - 45 = 9 hours

Employee B had 9 hours more than employee A.
