Learning curve coefficients

Use the following table for calculation. Learning curve coefficients A job has

A job has an 90 percent learning curve. Estimate the time needed to complete the fifth unit of the job. The time for the first unit is unknown. However, units 2 through 4 took a total of 17.90 hours to complete. (Use the value in the table to calculate your answer and not the formula. Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 3 decimal places.)
