Question

A manufacturing company produces 380 units per day currently. The company's goal is to increase the number of units manufactured per day by 30 each year. If the company meets its goal, how many units will it be producing per day 4 years from now?​

Answer 1

500

Explanation:

You want to know the rate in 4 years if it is 380 units per day, and increasing by 30 units per day per year.

Rate

The rate in 4 years will be the sum of the current rate and the amount of increase. The amount of increase is the rate of increase, multiplied by time:

amount of increase = (30 units/day)/year × (4 years) = 120 units/day

Then the rate in 4 years will be ...

new rate = current rate + increase

new rate = 380 units/day + 120 units/day = 500 units/day

The company will be producing 500 units per day in 4 years.
