Question 1173615: The investigators of one agency conduct an average of 12 interviews an hour from 10am to 12noon and from 1pm to 5pm daily. The director of this agency knows from past experience that 20% of those called in to be interviewed are unable to keep the appointments that were scheduled. If the director wants his staff to be kept occupied with interviews for the entire time period that has been set aside for this function, how many appointments should be scheduled for each day?

Hi,

Let x represent the amount needed to be scheduled

 6hrs (12) = 72 Interview per day

20% of those called in to be interviewed are unable to keep the appointments that were scheduled

To fill time slots:

 .80x = 72

    x = 90/day need to be scheduled to keep interview slots full 

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
