Using more advanced technology, a team of workers began to produce 6 more parts per hour than planned. As a result the team fulfilled 120% of an eight hours day work in six hours. How many parts per hour was the team supposed to produce according to the plan?

Respuesta :

Answer: 10 parts per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the team supposed to produce x parts per hour.

Thus, in 8 hour, the team supposed to produce = 8 x

Now, when company produce 6 more parts per hour than planned ,

Then the new parts per hour produced by company = x + 6

Thus, in 6 hour, the team supposed to produce = 6 ( x +6 )

According to the question,

As a result of new plan the team fulfilled 120% of an eight hours day work in six hours.

That is, [tex] \text{120\% of 8 x} = 6 ( x +6 )[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{120\times 8x}{100} = 6 x + 36 [/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{960x}{100} = 6 x + 36 [/tex]

⇒ [tex]9.6 x = 6 x + 36 [/tex]

⇒ [tex]9.6 x - 6 x = 36 [/tex]

⇒ [tex]3.6 x = 36 [/tex]

⇒  [tex]x = 10[/tex]

Thus, 10 parts per hour was the team supposed to produce according to the plan.
