Workdays in a 30-day month starting on Saturday If every second Saturday and all Sundays are holidays in a 30-day month beginning on a Saturday, how many working days are there?

Introduction / Context:We count holidays (all Sundays + every second Saturday) and subtract from 30.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Month starts on Saturday.
• Days 1..30: Saturdays fall on 1, 8, 15, 22, 29; Sundays on 2, 9, 16, 23, 30.
• Holidays: all Sundays + the 2nd and 4th Saturdays.

Step-by-Step Solution:Sundays off = 5 (2, 9, 16, 23, 30).Second Saturdays off = 8 (2nd Sat) and 22 (4th Sat) ⇒ 2 more holidays.Total holidays = 5 + 2 = 7.Working days = 30 − 7 = 23.

Verification / Alternative check:Listing the weekend grid confirms only two Saturdays (8 and 22) are designated second/fourth Saturday holidays.

Final Answer:23
