    Hi JOhn!

    I have an issue concerning the question Glam co in dec 2014.

    To calculate the number of client the ‘assistant’ can have for ‘cut’, I’ve done the following:

    I day= 8 hr
    1 Client= 0.1 hr
    0.1 hr = 1 client
    8 hr = 1/0.1 x 8 = 80 clients x 2 =160 clients
    1 day = 160 C
    350 days = 160 x 350 days = 56,000 clients

    1. My answer is wrong.
    2. Where I have been doing things wrong? What’s wrong with my calculation?

    Where do 350 days come from?

    The question says that they work 6 days a week, they are closed for 2 weeks and so there are 50 working weeks. So this is 6 x 50 = 300 days.

    300 days x 160 clients = 48,000 which is what the examiners answer has!
