Question

30 POINTS!,!!!!!!!!!!!!

A packaging factory is open from Monday to Saturday. In a particular week, 15,000 packets were packed on Monday and the factory was also closed on Tuesday. If no less than 100,000 packets should be packed in that week, what is the minimum equal number of packets that must be packed per day for the remaining days?

Answer 1

A minimum of 21250 packets per day.

Explanation:

If Monday produced 15,000 packets, and Tuesday was closed they produced 15,000 packets in 2 days.

The factory is open 6 days a week.

They need 100,000 packets.

They have 15,000 packets.

6 subtract 2 is 4.

100,000 subtract 15,000 is 85,000.

They need 85,000 packets in 4 days.

That is a minimum of 21250 packets per day.
