Answer:
Last year company produce 225 items
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of items produced last year be x
Here we are asked to find the percent increase in the production of the items from last year
The production for the last year = x
The production for the current year = 243
Total increased production =243-x
Hence percentage calculation = [tex]\frac{\increase \in \sale}{\last \year \sale} \times 100 [/tex] %
Increased percentage = [tex]\frac{243-x}{x} \times 100[/tex] %
Percentage increased = 8 %
Hence
[tex]\frac{243-x}{x} \times 100 = 8[/tex]
[tex]{243-x}\times 100 = 8 \times x [/tex]
[tex]24300-100x = 8x[/tex]
[tex]24300=100x+8x[/tex]
[tex]24300=108x[/tex]
[tex]x= \frac{24300}{108}[/tex]
x=225
Hence Last year production was 225 items
