The number of days the team worked is 12 days

Equation and expression

Given that a team of workers had to produce 54 parts daily in order to complete an assignment by a given deadline.

Let the number of days in which the work should be finished be "x"

  • Hence the number of parts they are to make = 54x parts.

  • If they make 6 extra parts each day, then the work will finish 1 day earlier with 18 extra parts. The required equation will be given as:

60(x - 1) - 18 = 54x

Solve the expression for "x"

60x - 60 - 18 = 54x

60 - 54x  = 78

6x = 78

x = 13

Number of days the team worked = 13 - 1 = 12 days

Hence the number of days the team worked is 12 days
