Answer:
[tex]14\frac{17}{30}[/tex]hrs
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:
Time worked on Saturday = [tex]7\frac{11}{12}[/tex]
Unknown:
Total hours he worked last weekend = ?
Solution:
Since Brendan worked 84% of the time he worked on Saturday on Sunday;
Time worked on Sunday = [tex]\frac{84}{100}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{95}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{133}{20}[/tex]
Total time worked last weekend = Time worked on Saturday + Time worked on Sunday;
Total time worked = [tex]\frac{95}{12}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{133}{20}[/tex]
Total time worked = [tex]\frac{475 + 399}{60}[/tex]
Total time worked = [tex]\frac{874}{60}[/tex]
Total time worked = [tex]\frac{437}{30}[/tex] = [tex]14\frac{17}{30}[/tex]hrs
