Explanation / Answer
Hello, This question is incomplete as you need below figures to calculate :
1) Is the salary of nurse daily/weekly or monthly or hourly
2) How many hours a day nurse works to calculate total hours work per week?
3) Salary structure looks incomplete - it shows total salary is $17.25
However, I am assuming above as salary to be hourly & work 8 hours per day.
Hourly salary = $17.25 & 17.25/3 = 20 mins salary = $5.75 = per patient cost & rest is profit.
Kindly provide clear information to get the best answer thanks
