Problema Solution

Bryant and Julia both work at a otis call center. The center measures each CSR by calls per hour. Between the two CSR’s they take 215 calls in 4 hours. Bryant takes 17% more calls than Julia. How many more calls per hour does Bryant take than Julia?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent the number of calls per hour Julia takes, then 'x + 0.17x' represents the number of calls per hour Bryant takes


215/4 = x + 0.17x

solving for 'x' we have x=45.94


45.94 + 0.17(45.94) = 53.75


53.75 - 45.94 = 7.81


Bryant takes approximately 7.81 calls per hour than Julia
