Problem Statement
The average production in a factory for the first eleven months of the year was 115 units but the average production for 12 months came down to 112 units. What was the number of units produced during the twelfth month?
Solution
Step 1: Determine the total production for the first 11 months
Let's assume that the total production for the first 11 months is x.
Therefore, we can write the following equation:
11 x 115 = x
Solving this equation, we get:
x = 1,265
Therefore, the total production for the first 11 months is 1,265 units.
Step 2: Determine the total production for the 12 months
Let's assume that the total production for the 12 months is y.
Therefore, we can write the following equation:
12 x 112 = y
Solving this equation, we get:
y = 1,344
Therefore, the total production for the 12 months is 1,344 units.
Step 3: Determine the production for the twelfth month
To determine the production for the twelfth month, we can subtract the total production for the first 11 months from the total production for the 12 months.
Therefore, we get:
1,344 - 1,265 = 79
Therefore, the production for the twelfth month is 79 units.
Conclusion
Therefore, the production for the twelfth month is 79 units.
