Answer:
The total number of items to be counted each day ≈ 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Lindsay Electronics has 6,500 items in its inventory.
11% of the items in inventory are A items
33% of the items in inventory are B items
56% of the items in inventory are C items
A items are counted every 20 working days
B items are counted every 62 working days
C items are counted every 121 working days
How many items need to be counted each day?
First we will find the number of items of type A, B and C
Number of A items = 11% of 6,500 = 0.11*6500 = 715
Number of B items = 33% of 6,500 = 0.33*6500 = 2145
Number of C items = 56% of 6,500 = 0.56*6500 = 3640
The number of A items to be counted each day is
A items = 715/20
The number of B items to be counted each day is
B items = 2145/62
The number of C items to be counted each day is
C items = 3640/121
The total number of items to be counted each day is
Total items = 715/20 + 2145/62 + 3640/121
Total items = 100.42
Rounding the answer to the nearest whole number yields,
Total items ≈ 100
