Question

A reservation clerk worked 12.6 hours one day. She spent twice as much time entering new reservations as she did verifying old ones and one and a half as much time calling to confirm reservations as verifying old ones. How much time did she spend entering new reservations?

Answer 1

x is hrs entering new reservations
y is hrs verifying old ones
z is hrs confirming
x+y+z = 12.6
x=2y
z = 1.5y
2y + y + 1.5y = 12.6
4.5y = 12.6
y = 2.8
--> x=5.6

Answer 2

thanks
