Problema Solution
Senator Snortsalot is campaigning for reelection. During his visit to Patheticville, he plans to have 17,500 brochures distributed. His schedule is very tight, and he will only be in Patheticville for 4 hours. How many volunteers will he need if each volunteer can distribute 225 brochures in one hour?
Answer provided by our tutors
The number of brochures per hour would be 17,500/4 and since each volunteers needs to distribute 225 brochures in one hour:
(17500/4)/225
19.4444
So 20 volunteers would be required for 4 hours each.
