    production rate of product Y is 25% more than that of product X. In the next 5 days, the factory produces product Y at a rate 15% higher than the current rate of production of product X. How many units of product Y will be produced in total over the next 5 days?
    A 7920 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 8500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8625 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 8800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Production rate of product X = 1200 units per day. Production rate of product Y = 1200 * (1 + 0.25) = 1500 units per day. For the next 5 days, the production rate of product Y is increased by 15%. New production rate = 1500 * (1 + 0.15) = 1500 * 1.15 = 1725 units per day. Total units of product Y produced in the next 5 days = 1725 * 5 = 8625 units. Therefore, the total units of product Y will be 8625 units. Answer: d) 8625
