Problema Solution

A snack cake company's bakery machine produces between 247 and 384 snack cakes per hour. Before the snack cakes are packaged, they must go through quality control. On average, quality control discards 33.86 of the produced snack cakes per hour. What is a reasonable estimate for the number of snack cakes ready for packaging after 9 hours?

Answer provided by our tutors

Average production of snack cakes=(247+384)/2=315.5

No. of cakes discarded on average=33.86 

Therefore, Average amount of cake produced each hour=315.5-33.86= 281.64

After nine hours no. of snack cakes ready for packaging= 281.64*9=2534.76

Therefore, Answer=2534.76
