Question 449648: Patient Appointments Some doctors use the formula ND= 1.08T to relate variables N (the number of patient appointments the doctor schedules in one day), D ( the duration of each patient appointment), and T (total number of minutes the doctor can use to see patients in one day).
a) Solve the formula for N.
b) Use this result to find the number of patient appointments N a doctor should make if she has 6 hours available for patients and each appointment is 15 minutes long. (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
Please help me, for I am completely lost with this question and with the step by step process.
Thank you
