The value-added time is the time the patient spent with the doctor, which is 5 minutes. The total time spent in the office is 20 + 5 = 25 minutes.
To find the value-added percentage, we need to calculate the proportion of value-added time to total time:
value-added time / total time x 100
5 / 25 x 100 = 20%
Therefore, the value-added percentage of the patient is 20%.
To calculate the value-added percentage of the patient, we need to determine the amount of time that was spent on value-added activities.
The total time spent at the doctor's office can be calculated by adding the waiting time in the reception area to the time spent with the doctor:
Total time = 20 minutes (waiting) + 5 minutes (doctor's visit) = 25 minutes
The value-added time would be the time spent with the doctor:
Value-added time = 5 minutes
Now, we can calculate the value-added percentage by dividing the value-added time by the total time and multiplying by 100:
Value-added percentage = (Value-added time / Total time) x 100
Value-added percentage = (5 minutes / 25 minutes) x 100
Value-added percentage = 0.2 x 100
Value-added percentage = 20%
Therefore, the value-added percentage of the patient is 20%.
