How many total items are counted each day if there are 2,000 A items counted weekly, 5,000 B items counted quarterly, and 20,000 C items counted annually over 251 workdays?

  1. 395 units

  2. 404 units

  3. 574 units

  4. 808 units

The correct answer is: 574 units

To determine the total number of items counted each day, the weekly, quarterly, and annual counts need to be converted into a daily count. 1. **A Items**: There are 2,000 A items counted weekly. To find the daily count: - There are 5 workdays in a week, so: - Daily count of A items = 2,000 A items / 5 workdays = 400 A items per day. 2. **B Items**: There are 5,000 B items counted quarterly. A quarter typically consists of 3 months, and assuming an average of 4.33 weeks per month, that totals 13 weeks in a quarter. Thus: - Total workdays in a quarter = 13 weeks × 5 workdays/week = 65 workdays. - Daily count of B items = 5,000 B items / 65 workdays ≈ 76.92, which can be rounded to 77 B items per day. 3. **C Items**: There are 20,000 C items counted annually. Since there are approximately 251 workdays in a year: - Daily count of C items = 20,000 C items
