Answer:

Explanation:

First we have to found all the clothes that the manufacturer produces in 8 hours,

As given 120 clothes = produce in 1 hour

X clothes = produce in 8 hour

By cross multiplication, we get

X= 120*8

X= 960 total clothes produced in 8 hours

As also given that in each hour 5 clothes damaged ,so we can write as

5 clothes = damaged in 1 hour

Y clothes = Damaged in 8 hour

By cross multiplication we get

Y= 40 clothes damaged in 8 hour

So the total clothes that manufacturer produce with out damage clothe will be ,

Total normal clothes = X-Y = 960 - 40 = 920 clothes
