This math problem has got me stumped: Andrew has 2 3-hour appointments today. He spends the rest of his 8-hour workday stamping permit applications. If he can stamp 50 permit applications an hour, how many permits total does he stamp today?
Can you show me the way?
First find the total length of the appointments: 2 appointments * 3 hours/appointment = 6 hours
Then subtract that time from the length of Andrew's workday to find how many hours he spends stamping permits: 8 hours - 6 hours = 2 hours
Then multiply that number by the number of permits he can stamp per day to find how many permits he stamps: 50 permits/hour * 2 hours = 100 permits
