75 * 40 * 50 = ________ hours
There are 75 employees, and they all get 2 weeks off per year, so total weeks off for everyone is:
75*2 = 150 weeks
Now:
1 year = 52.18 weeks
The total weeks that all 75 employees work without the 2 week vacation is:
75*52.18 = 3913.5
Total week - vacation week=net working week:
3913.5 - 150 = 3763.5
Now multiply net working week with hours worked per week:
3763.5*40 = 150540
75*2 = 150 weeks
Now:
1 year = 52.18 weeks
The total weeks that all 75 employees work without the 2 week vacation is:
75*52.18 = 3913.5
Total week - vacation week=net working week:
3913.5 - 150 = 3763.5
Now multiply net working week with hours worked per week:
3763.5*40 = 150540
