The previous tutor answered this question already. I am just confused about the number of days in a year. The tutor uses 365 days, isn't 360 days? Since the question doesn't state any exact value, but only it assumes so I think it is 360 days, right? If the tutor's answer is correct, please enlighten and describe further why is it 365 days and not 360 days.
