Question

A textile factory in the U.S. pays 475 workers a total of $12.75 million each year to produce 8.2 million pants. A Chinese factory employs 350 workers at a cost of $2.3 million to produce 4.3 million pants. How much does each Chinese worker make per year on average?

Answer 1

A Chinese company employs 350 workers at a cost of $2.3 million

Where Total cost = $2.3 million

Number of workers = 350

The average pay made by each Chinese worker per year on a average is

`\text{Average pay=}\frac{Total\text{ cost}}{Number\text{ of workers}}=(2,300,000)/(350)=\text{ \$6571.43 (two decimal places)}`

The amount made by each Chinese worker per year on a average is $6571.43 (two decimal places)
