I think we can both agree that 10 % of someone's working time is not a very well defined amount of time. 10 % of your total time seems like the more reasonable interpretation.

5 / (8*10) = 0.625

5 / (8*10*5/7) = 0.875. (excluding weekends)

If you take into account annual leaves, say 25 days, it is still below 10%
