Question

A factory operates 5 days in a week. In particular week 5% of the total number of glasses produced, 419 glasses, are found cracked. What is the average number of glasses produced per day in that week?​

Answer 1

the answer would be 1676 glasses per day

Explanation:

if you set up and equation to have the total number of glasses that week, you'd have 5/100 = 419/x

you cross multiply and solve to get x=8380. that is the total number of glasses produced in a week.

since you want the number of glasses produced per day, you'd have to divide that by the number of operating days in a week, which in this case is 5.

after dividing 8380 by 5, you would have an end result of 1676.

Hope this helps!
