Question

A battery factory typically produces 12,000 batteries per day and uses 50 boxes for packing the battiest. If the number of boxes needed for packing is proportional to the number of batteries produced, how many more boxes would be needed in a day when 18,000 battiest are produced

Answer 1

Number of extra boxes= 120

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Batteries per box= 50

Number of batteries= 18,000

Number of batteries in ecxess= 6,000

We need to calculate the number of boxes required to cover the 6,000 extra batteries:

Number of extra boxes= number of batteries / batteries per box

Number of extra boxes= 6,000 / 50

Number of extra boxes= 120
