Question

There are 800 desks at Washington Middle School. The custodial staff at the school plans to inspect 6.5% of the desks every week for damage. How many desks will the custodial staff have inspected after 4 weeks?

Answer 1

208 desks

Explanation:

To find out how many desks they will inspect each week, we multiply

800 * 6.5%

800 * .065

52 desks per week

Over a 4 week period, they will inspect

52 desk per week * 4 weeks =

208 desks
