Answer 1

1325.50 cases

Explanation:

In this problem, we want to calculate the number of cases made in one day,

let the number of cases that can be produced in a day be x

given that the factory produces 132,554 cases in 100 days

it can produce x cases in 1 day

cross multiply we have

100x=132,554

divide both sides by x we have

x=132,554/100

x=1325.54

Approximately 1325.50 cases
