If the manager claimed to have spent 70% of his day in meetings, it means that 70% of his total workday was dedicated to meetings. To determine the total number of hours he worked, we need to find the remaining 30% of his day that was not spent in meetings.
Let's assume a standard workday consists of 24 hours.
The manager spent 70% of his day in meetings, which is 0.70 * 24 = 16.8 hours.
The remaining 30% of his day that he did not spend in meetings is 0.30 * 24 = 7.2 hours.
Therefore, the manager worked a total of 16.8 + 7.2 = 24 hours.
So, the manager worked a total of 24 hours, including both the time spent in meetings and the remaining time not spent in meetings.
