Answer: There are 60 potatoes in a bucket.

We arrive at the answer as follows:

Let 't' be the total amount of time, in minutes, taken by the worker to bake pies and peel a bucket of potatoes.

Let 'x' be the number of potatoes in a bucket.

So, total time taken by the worker on Monday can be expressed as:

t = (2*60) + 1.5x

The total time taken on Tuesday is:

t = (2.5*60) + 1x

Since the total time spent by the worker on these two activities on Monday and Tuesday are equal, we can equate the two equations and rewrite them as follows:

(2.5*60) + 1x = (2*60) + 1.5x

150 + 1x = 120 + 1.5x

150 - 120 = 1.5x - 1x

30 = 0.5x

30 = 0.5x

x = 60

Answer:

60 potatoes.

Explanation:

It is a simple mathematical question in which we find the value of x(potatoes) by equating two scenarios and then finding the value.

The calculations are as follows:

1st scenario:

time t to make pies and peel potatoes on Monday = (2*60) + 1.5x

2nd scenario:

time t to make pies and peel potatoes on Tuesday = (2.5*60) + 1x

Now writing these equations as below:

(2*60) + 1.5x = (2.5*60) + 1x

120 + 1.5x = 150 + 1x

1.5x - 1x = 150-120

0.5x=30

x=30/0.5

x=60.

mihalych1998 [28]

Due to changes in production, Hanson steel gave each employee 75 percent of the cost savings. Hanson steel uses a <u>gainsharing </u>compensation plan.

A compensation plan refers to the practices, methods, and intentional approach that's used by an organization in maintaining financial interests and developing, retaining, attracting, and rewarding employees in an industry.

It should be noted that the gainsharing compensation plan refers to a compensation plan that is used to increase profitability as employees share in the company's gain. Since the workers share 75% of the cost savings, this is a gain-sharing compensation plan.
