Problema Solution
a reservation clerk worked 9.45 hours one day. She spent twice as much time entering new reservations as she did verifying old ones and one and a half as as much time calling to confirm reservations as verifying old ones. How much time did she spend entering new reservations?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the time spent on verifying old reservations
2x = the time spent on entering new reservations
1.5x = the time spent of calls
altogether she worked 9.45 hours:
x + 2x + 1.5x = 9.45
by solving we find
x = 2.1 hr
