Problema Solution
Two factory plants are making TV panels. Yesterday, Plant A produced
8000
panels. Three percent of the panels from Plant A and
10%
of the panels from Plant B were defective. How many panels did Plant B produce, if the overall percentage of defective panels from the two plants was
8%
?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
x = the number of panels that Plant B produced
(3% of the panels from Plant A) + (10% of the panels from Plant B) = 8% of the total number of panels produced
0.03*8000 + 0.10*x = 0.08(8000 + x)

........
x = 20,000 panels
Plant B produced total of 20,000 panels.
