Question

A worker at a factory earns $12 per hour plus 2.50 for each unit produced that hour. The worker earns a total of $27 in one hour. What is the total number of units produced?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total number of units produced is 6  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The earning of worker at the factory = $ 12 per hour + $ 2.50 each unit per hour

The total earning of worker per hour = $ 27

Let The total number of unit produced = x

According to question

The wage worker earn per hour + earning  × per unit produced that hour = Total earning of worker per hour

Or, $ 12 per hour + $ 2.50 each unit per hour × x = $ 27

Or, $ 2.50 each unit per hour × x = $ 27 - $ 12

Or,  $ 2.50 each unit per hour × x = $ 15

∴   x = $\frac{15}{2.50}$

Or, x = 6

Hence The total number of units produced is 6  .   Answer
