Question

In Johnson Corporation, the first shift produced 81/2 times as many lightbulbs as the second shift. If the
total lightbulbs produced was 24,700, how many lightbulbs were produced on shift 2?
A. 22,100
B. 22,010
C. 2,600
D. 6,200

Answer 1

s = number of bulbs for the second shift

8.5 s = number bulbs for the first shift

 

s + 8.5s = 24700

9.5s = 24700

s = 2600

 

Second shift produced 2,600 light bulbs.
