Answer 1

Answer: 1) 9 days

2) a)37.5%

b)50%

c) 33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

1) - Let's call:

x: number of days the company supposed to finish the order.

- You know that the company had to produce 40 items daily, but it produced 20 items more daily and finished the order 3 days ahead of time. Therefore, you can express this as following:

$40x=(40+20)(x-3)\\40x=60(x-3)$

- Solve for $x$:

$40x=60x-180\\-20x=-180\\x=9$

(The answer is 9 days)

2) a) The percent that belongs to three people if eight eight people share equally in an inheritance, can be calculated as following:

$\frac{3}{8}*100=37.5$%

b) The percent that belongs to three people if six people share equally in an inheritance (because two of the people are disinherited) can be calculated as following:

$\frac{3}{6}*100=50$%

c) - The increase goes from 1/8 to 1/6, therefore, you must subtract them:

$\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{24}=0.04167$

- Divide the result by 1/8 and multiply by 100 to obtain the percent:

$\frac{0.04167}{\frac{1}{8}}*100=33.33$%
