A Florida factory produces fishing reels at a rate of 800 per day, every day. In April, they are forced to cut their production by 15% due to an aluminum shortage.
A chain of sporting goods stores orders 20,000 fishing reels. How much would the factory be able to produce (fishing reels) in the 30 days of April?

Respuesta :

First find 15% of 800 and subtract that from 800 ( 800-(.15*800)) which equals 680 and multiply the 680 by the 30 days of April. You will get 20400
Original production = 800  reels / day.

15% reduction = 15% x 800 = 0.15 x 800 = 120

Current production = 800 - 120 = 680 reels / day

1 day = 680 reels

30 days = 680 x 30 = 20 400 reels

Answer: The factory would be able to produce 20400 in April.
