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?

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 а bout:

x = 12 minutes
