How do I figure my inmate's sentence?

So far No one has been able to answer this- Sentencing order 10/24/2018- ADC24/CCC/AS(minus)11months jail time credit(equals)=13month to serve Is this correct?

If your inmate got a 24-month sentence in state prison, there is a likelihood that they were granted "good time" credits before the sentence started.

If your inmate got a 24-month sentence in state prison, there is a likelihood that they were granted "good time" credits before the sentence started. The norm is 15%. If that is correct, then the inmate serves 85% of 24 months or 20.4 months. If they have already served 11 months, there are less than 10 months remaining.
