it would raise the amount of money they make per hour by 80 actually
since then dentist becomes the bottleneck
wait nvm
one second
let me think
The Answer
Ok, so the answer is that they should make the change.
Currently, the capacity is 3 patients/hour, so that’s $80 * 3 = $240 per hour.
The receptionist costs $20/hour, and the hygienist costs $40/hour, so you get a gross profit of $180 per hour.
Now, say we swap out the receptionist for a second hygienist. We now combine Check-In and Cleaning into one category that takes 25 minutes per patient. Each hygienist can handle 60/25 = 2.4 patients per hour, so the capacity of that section is 4.8 patients/hour. Thus, the Dentist Inspection becomes the bottleneck for the process at 4 patients per hour.
So you now have a capacity of 4 patients/hour, which is $80 * 4 = $320 per hour.
Your two hygienists cost $40 * 2 = $80, so your new gross profit is $240 per hour, which is more than your original profit of $180 per hour.
Therefore, you should make the change.
this is harder than the others >;c the others were simple logic puzzles
one second im mapping this out

Also this is a very unreal flowchart for dentists…
Check-in for 5 minutes is fine, i guess. But i had no dentist, where the cleaning and the actual check-up happened the same day…

We’re assuming that you made an appointment already, so Check-In is just you waiting in the lobby until they call you.
You all nerdies i wanna grab your glasses from your nerdy faces and smudge them smudge them smudge them with my finger so theyre dirty and then i put it back on your faces and then you shut up!!! Less ego!!!

Yeah, for a simple check-up dentist won’t make a cleaning, but if your teeth need cleaning before any operation, that will almost never happen the same day.

Ok, this is more formula-based, so I don’t think you can solve this.
I’ll grab the next problem once I finish solving this.
