Two teams of workers were scheduled to produce 680 parts in a month. The first team produced 20% more parts than planned and the
second team produced 15% more than planned. The two teams together produced 118 parts more than planned. How many parts was each team supposed to produce according to the plan?
2 answers:
Let
x------> parts produced by the first team <span>according to the plan
</span>y------> parts produced by the second team according to the plan
we know that
x+y=680--------> equation 1
0.20x+0.15y=118--------> equation 2
using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=320
y=360
the answer is
parts produced by the first team according to the plan------> 320
parts produced by the second team according to the plan----> 360

Answer:
Let x represents the week and y represents the seashells
As per the statement:
Dora has 10 seashells and plans to add 2 shells every week.
"2 shells every week" means 2x
⇒y = 10 + 2x
It is also given, Jerri has 4 seashells and plans to add 5 shells every week.
"5 shells every week" means 2x
⇒ y = 4 + 5x
The system of equation would be used:
y = 10 + 2x
y = 4 + 5x
Since, the girls have the same number of seashells
⇒
Subtract 4 from both sides we get;
Subtract 2x from both sides we get;
Divide by 3 both sides we have;
x = 2 weeks.
Therefore, the number of weeks would it be before the girls have the same number if seashells is, 2 weeks.
