Question

Deena works at a customer service call center. She fields an average of 6 calls per hour. Employees are encouraged to field more than 240 calls per week. Deena has already fielded 96 calls this week. How many more hours, x, does Deena need to work this week to reach the weekly goal of fielded calls?
A. x > 3
B. x > 40
C. x > 24
D. x > 30

Answer 1

1. She needs to field 240 calls, but has already done 96. => 240-96=144
2. She fields six calls per hour, and how many hours will it take. This is a hint for division. 144/6=24
3. Therefore, x, where x is the minimum number of hours Deena will need to answer 144 more calls, is at least 144.
4. Answer: c. x>24
