I am lost

I'd be lost with this question, too. You really need to go back into your text and see how this is addressed there.

Thanks

These days, don't all companies use computer programs to do payroll and other business tasks?

When was your text published? The question seems very outdated. Please ask your instructor or school for an up-to-date text.

To determine the percentage by which a computer program can reduce the time spent on payroll, we need to compare the time spent without the program to the time spent with the program.

Let's assume that without the computer program, the director spends 100% of their time on payroll.

Now, if the computer program reduces the time spent on payroll by 75%, then the director will spend only 25% of their original time on payroll, which means they save 75% of their time.

Similarly, if the program reduces the time spent on payroll by 10%, then the director will spend 90% of their original time on payroll, which means they save 10% of their time.

If the program reduces the time spent by 50%, then the director will spend 50% of their original time on payroll, which means they save 50% of their time.

And if the program reduces the time spent by 25%, then the director will spend 75% of their original time on payroll, which means they save 25% of their time.

Now we can compare the given answer options:

A. 75% - This option matches the calculation we made. So, the answer could be A.

B. 10% - This option does not match the calculation we made. So, this option can be eliminated.

C. 50% - This option matches the calculation we made. So, the answer could be C.

D. 25% - This option matches the calculation we made. So, the answer could be D.

Based on the calculations, the possible answers are A, C, and D. Without more information, it is unclear which option is the correct answer. You may need to refer to the specific context or information provided to determine the correct answer.
