Question

You are a medical billing specialist. Last week, you processed 200 claims in 40 hours. Assuming each claim takes the same amount of time, how many minutes should it take you to process a single claim?

Answer 1

We have the following linear equation for this problem:
 y = (200/40) * x
 Where,
 x: time in hours
 y: number of complaints
 For y = 1 we have:
 1 = (200/40) * x
 x = 40/200
 x = 1/5 hours
 We consider the following conversion:
 1h = 60 minutes 
 Applying the conversion:
 x = (1/5) * (60)
 x = 12 minutes
 Answer:
 It should take you to process to single claim about:
 x = 12 minutes
