You are planning to hire a full-time electrician who will work 40 hours per week. If you plan on giving this new hire three weeks' vacation as a benefit, how many hours will this new hire work in twelve months?

1960hours

Explanation:

There are 52weeks in 12 months and the electrician is suppose to work 40hours each week. i.e

40hours x 52weeks = 2080hours

If the plan is to give the electrician  a three weeks vacation as benefit, it means the electrician will not be working for

40hours x 3weeks = 120hours

Therefore the  number of hours that the electrician will work for 12months  will be equal to 2080 hours - 120hours = 1960hours
