Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lauren's team has a total of 20 people * 5 days/week * 8 hours/day * 30 weeks = 24,000 hours available. However, there are 5 holidays and 5 members each requesting 10 days off, which means a total of 5 * 8 hours/day * 5 days/week * 5 members = 1,200 hours lost. Therefore, Lauren is 1,200 hours short of completing her workload.
