As an expert in time management and scheduling, I can help you calculate the number of workdays in a given year. A workday is typically considered as a day that is not a weekend, which means we are looking at weekdays, excluding weekends and public holidays.
To calculate the number of workdays in 2017, we need to consider the following:
1. 2017 was not a leap year, so it had 365 days.
2. Weekends consist of Saturday and Sunday, which account for 52 weeks * 2 days/week = 104 weekend days.
3. Public holidays vary by country, but for the sake of this calculation, we will exclude the most common ones.
Let's do the calculation:
365 days (total days in 2017) - 104 days (weekends) = 261 workdays
However, we need to account for public holidays. Since the number of public holidays can vary, let's assume there are 10 public holidays that fall on a weekday (which is a common scenario). If we subtract these from the total:
261 workdays - 10 public holidays = 251 workdays
So, there are approximately 251 workdays in 2017, assuming 10 public holidays.
