Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total number of calls required for A-level accounts is 1,000 x 30 = 30,000 calls per year.
The total number of calls required for B-level accounts is 3,000 x 10 = 30,000 calls per year.
The total workload is 60,000 calls per year.
Each salesperson can make 1,500 calls per year.
Thus, the number of salespeople needed is 60,000/1,500 = 40. 
Therefore, the best choice is C.
