Question

Luisa and Rachelle are competing for employee of the month. It is the last week, and the employee who processes the most client accounts will win. Luisa processed 15 accounts Monday, 22 accounts Tuesday, and 17 accounts Wednesday. Rachelle processed 24 accounts Monday, 18 accounts Tuesday, and 11 accounts Wednesday. Who has processed the most accounts this week, and by how many

Answer 1

Luisa processed the most accounts this week, by 1.

Explanation:

Luisa:

15 on Monday, 22 on Tuesday and 17 on Wednesday.

So a total of 15 + 22 + 17 = 54.

Rachelle:

24 on Monday, 18 on Tuesday, 11 on Wednesday.

So a total of 24 + 18 + 11 = 53.

Who has processed the most accounts this week, and by how many?

54 - 53 = 1, so Luisa processed the most accounts this week, by 1.
