Question 909068
There are a possible 60 work hours per day.
Since a pedicure makes $24/hr and the massage makes $13.6/hr, you'll want to maximize the pedicures.
How many pedicures can be done in a six hour period (we're assuming that only one employee works at a time on a person)?
6 hours * 60 minutes = 360 / 25 = 14.4 -- you can't use the .4.  We'll have to see later if it's worth it to maximize the time.
<b>14 pedicure appointments * all 10 employees = 140 pedicure appointments @ $10 = $1400.</b>
If one of those appointments per person is a massage, then we have:
1 massage appointment (360-75=285 mins left) @$17 = 17, plus
(285/25=11.4) 11 pedicure appointments @$10 = $110.  $127 per employee = $1270.
If two of those appointments per person is a massage, then we have:
2 massage appointments (360-150=210 mins left) @17 = $34, plus
(210/25=8.4) 8 pedicure appointments @$10 = $80.  $114 per employee = $1140
3 massage appointments (360-225=135 mins left) @$17 = $51, plus
(135/25=5.4) 5 pedicure appointments @$10 = $50.  $101 per employee = $1010
4 massage appointments (360-300=50 mins left) @$17 = $68, plus
(50/25 = 2) 2 pedicure appointments @$10 = $20.  $88 per employee = $880
As the number of pedicure appointments decline, even accounting for unused employee time, the revenue also declines.
