The Math of Farewells

Ending days at any job are often (always?) traumatic, even if you're leaving of your own free will to "pursue other interests". Today we have a sad departure - one of our folks is leaving us and ending employment at The Mighty Ansmar Publishers, home of Excel Math.

I'm going to make this departure a math problem, to give you an example of the sorts of things that kids learn using our elementary math curriculum.

Here are the rules.

1. I will provide the number of calendar days that have elapsed since the 10 people on the list below STARTED working at Ansmar. I call this the Job Duration Number (JDN).

2. Once you have seen the number of days, I will give you a math problem to solve, which will reveal the person who is leaving.

3. It's up to you to determine who will be a former employee at 4:30 this afternoon,

4. And who is the newly-hired replacement.

Ready?

Go!

Whose job duration number consists of an odd number of hundreds with zero tens and zero ones? _______

Take that number and subtract 100. _______

Take the resulting total and use it as the dividend in a division problem. Use as your divisor the  job duration number of our most-recently hired employee. The quotient is the number of the person leaving today.

Who is leaving?  ___________

and who is the most-recently hired person? ____________
