Two factory plants are making tv panels. Plant A produced 2000 fewer panels than Plan B did. Two percent of the panels from Plant A and 3% of the panels from Plant B were defective. How many panels did Plant A produce, if the two plants together produced 810 defective panels?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Plant A produced 15,000 panels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let plant B produce x panels

Plant A then produced x - 2000 panels

2% of panels from plant A were defective

3% of panels from plant B were defective

The two plants together produced 810 defective panels so;

2/100(x - 2000) + 3/100(x) = 810

0.02x - 40 + 0.03x = 810

0.05x = 850

x = 17,000 panels

So plant B produced 17,000 panels

Plant A produced 17,000 - 2,000 panels = 15,000 panels.
