20 + 48 + 360 + 220 = 648
16 + 8 + 120 + 80 = 224
8 + 4 + 65 + 130 = 207
20 ÷ 648 = 3%
48 ÷ 648 = 7%
16 ÷ 224 = 7%
8 ÷ 224 = 4%
8 ÷ 207 = 4%
4 ÷ 207 = 2%
 11ee941a_b6c2_6e79_bdb6_7fa0b812e8f0_TBW1041_00 Hrs in acct admin + hrs in acct hr + hrs in acct surg + hrs in acct ER = Total hrs in acct
Hrs in admin acct + hrs in admin hr + hrs in admin surg + hrs in admin ER = Total hrs in admin
Hrs in hr acct + hrs in hr admin + hrs in hr surg + hrs in hr ER = Total hrs in hr
Hrs in acct admin ÷ Total hrs in acct = % of hrs in acct admin
Hrs in acct hr ÷ Total hrs in acct = % of hrs in acct hr
Hrs in admin acct ÷ Total hrs in admin = % of hrs in admin acct
Hrs in admin hr ÷ Total hrs in admin = % of hrs in admin hr
Hrs in hr acct ÷ Total hrs in hr = % of hrs in hr acct
Hrs in hr admin ÷ Total hrs in hr = % of hrs in hr admin
