Question 308024: Using the Intermediate Algebra Sixth Edition, and never having had an algebra class all through my high school days. I am stumped upon this word problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Some doctors use the formula ND=1.08t to relate the variables N ( the number of patient appointments the doctor schedules in one day), D ( the duration of each patient appointment), and T ( the 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 to nearest whole number)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A) dividing by "D" ___ N = 1.08t / D

B) for T=360 (minutes in 6 hr) and D=15 ___ N = 1.08 (360) / 15 = 25.92 or 26
