Answer:

I got 41000 cell phones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: I figured out the amount of each workers from 90

US Sock Production: 18 workers

Thailand Sock Production: 15 workers

US Cell Production: 27 workers

Thailand Cell Production: 30 workers

Step 2: I adjusted the workers amounts to the question's changes

US Sock Production: 18 - 10 = 8 workers

Thailand Sock Productions: 18 + 15 = 33 workers

US Cell Production: 27 + 10 = 37 workers

Thailand Cell Production: 30 - 18 = 12 workers

Step 3: Find the total amount of cell phones produced

4(1000) + 37(1000) = 41000 cell phones

*12/3 = 4 because 3 workers are needed to make 1000 cell phones
