The machinist's goal was to increase his production by at least 10% each day. Assume he achieved his goal. If he was able to machine 25 items on Tuesday, how many would he machine on Wednesday?
Answer:
The number of machine produced on Wednesday is 27.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the number of machines produced by machinist on Tuesday is 25.
The machinist's goal was to increase his production by at least 10% each day.
Therefore the number of produced machines on Wednesdays is 1% more than the number of machines produced on Tuesday.
\(\text{10 \% of 25}=\frac{10}{100}\times 25=2.5\)
The number of machine produced on Wednesday is,
\(25+2.5=27.5\)
Therefore the number of machine produced on Wednesday is 27.5.
