Question

On average, employees at a particular company miss 1 day of work per year. That is 75% less than it was historically, back before there were major management changes. What was the average back then?

Answer 1

4 miss days per year

Explanation:

Let the previous employees miss days be = x

As given, miss days now are 75% less than previous

x - 75%x = 1/365

0.25x = 1/365

x = 1 / (365 x 0.25)

x = 4/365

So, average back then could have been 4 days per 365 days
