Question

A factory normally produces x units per working day. In a month with 22 working days, no units are produced in the first y working days because of a strike. How many units must be produced per day on each of the rest of the working days of the month in order to have an average of x units per working day for the entire month?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{22x}{22-y}$ units per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Average units produced per day = x (given)

No of days working in the month = 22

Hence total number of units to be produced = 22x

No of days not worked due to strike = y

Hence no of days available = 22-y

To reach the target of 22x units no of units to be produced per day

= total units/no of days available

=$\frac{22x}{22-y}$
