Question

An amusement park is open 7 days a week. The park has 8 ticket booths, and each booth has a ticket seller from 10am to 6pm. On average, ticket sellers work 30 hours per week. Write and equation that can be used to find "t", the minimum number of ticket sellers the park needs. show work if possible.

Answer 1

Answer:

t = (448 hrs/ week) / (30 hrs / week)

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of times park opens in a week = 7

Number of ticket booth = 8

Opening hours = 10am - 6pm = 8 hours per day

Max working hours per ticket seller per week = 30 hours

Therefore each booth works for 8 hours per day,

Then ( 8 * 7) = 56 hours per week.

All 8 booths work for (56 * 8) = 448 hours per week

If Max working hours per ticket seller per week = 30 hours,

Then muninim number of workers required (t) :

Total working hours of all booth / maximum number of working hours per worker per week

t = (448 hrs/ week) / (30 hrs / week)
