Answer:


Plant\ B\ produces\ 4000\ panels.

Explanation:

Let plant B produces
x panels.

Defective Panels from Plant A and Plant B

Defective panels from plant A
=1\%\ of\ 8000

Defective panels from plant A
=0.01* 8000

Defective panels from plant A
=80

Defective panels from plant B
=4\%\ of\ x

Defective panels from plant B
=0.04x

Total Defective panels=Defective panels from plant A+Defective panels from plant B

Total Defective panels
=80+0.04x

Total Panels and defective panels:

Total Panels=Panels from plant A+Panels from plant B

Total Panels=8000+x

Total Defective panels
=2\%\ of\ total\ panels=2\%\ of\ (8000+x)

Total Defective Panels
0.02* (8000+x)=160+0.02x


80+0.04x=160+0.02x\\\\0.04x-0.02x=160-80\\\\0.02x=80\\\\x=(80)/(0.02)\\\\x=4000
