    I think you'd take the Total Project $$$/ (#employees x Hrs/Day X $$/hr )

    So, $14,256.90 / ($30/hr X 4 ees X 8 hrs)

    $14,256.90/960 = 15 days (rounded up)

    if the employees are working a different number of hours each day, you'd include that in the denominator. (e.g., 2 employees work 4 hours/day, 2 work 8 hrs/day - ((2x4)+(2x8)) x $30/hr

    does that help?
