Question

A machine running at 100 percent capacity produces 13,000 products each shift. Each product weighs about 2.2 ounces.

How many ounces of product can the machine produce during a shift if it is running at 85 percent capacity?

Answer 1

The machine's production capacity at 85 percent is 85/100 * 13,000 products = <<85/10013000=11050>>11,050 products.
The total weight of products produced during a shift at 85 percent capacityy is 11,050 products * 2.2 ounces/product = <<110502.2=24210>>24,210 ounces.
