Help me solve this please:
There is an existing pool of 4038 pending transactions that need to be completed. On the average, there are 28 transactions added per day.
If there were 2 people working on these transactions at a rate of 150 transactions per day, how long would it take to complete all transactions?
What rate (transactions per day) would the 2 people need to be working if all transactions were to be completed in 20 days?

115 transaction per person for 20 days to finish the job..but if its a trick question, then its not gonna end since 28 transactions are added every day.

It's 229.9 transactions per day for both people- multiply 20 by 28 and you get the additional transactions within the 20 days and ad that to the present number of transactions 4038. Divide by 20 days. Correct me if I'm wrong...
For the first question: 32.88 days.

We need to get rid of that on top of the added transactions everyday. We would like to reach a point wherein we would only be processing the invoices that would come in for that day.

We just want 4038 pending transactions are our backlog. We need to get rid of that on top of the added transactions everyday. We would like to reach a point wherein we would only be processing the invoices that would come in for that day. brus and i arrived at the same answer..around 115/person or 230 for both persons (only i rounded it off) for 20 days. for the first question..i think brus' answer is also correct. ...good luck !
