Equipment running at 100 per cent capacity sorts 13,000 packages each shift.
How many packages can be sorted during a shift if the equipment is running at 85 per cent capacity?
10,400
11,150
11,700
None of the above

Respuesta :

The machine will sort 11050 packages when it is operating at 85% capacity.

To solve this question, we have to find the rate at which the machine is operating at 85% capacity.

Data;

  • 13,000 at 100%
  • x at 85%

Rate

This is used to compare two values with respect to one another mostly under similar conditions.

[tex]13,000 = 100\\ x = 85[/tex]

cross multiply both sides and solve for x

[tex]x = \frac{13000*85}{100} \\ x = 11050[/tex]

The machine will sort 11050 packages when it is operating at 85%
