At the end of their shift on Black Friday, two employees are tasked with folding 1,000 t-shirts that frantic customers left in a pile. The first employee, who folds at a rate of 10 shirts per minute, works by himself for 10 minutes. At that point, the second employee, who folds at a rate of 8 shirts per minute, joins him. What percent of the total number of shirts does the first employee fold?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • The first employee folds 60% of total shirts

--------------------------

First employee

  • In first 10 minutes, he folds 10*10 = 100 shirts

Remaining shirts

  • 1000 - 100 = 900

It takes two employees

  • 900/(10 + 8) = 900/18 = 50 minutes to finish

First employee folds in total

  • 100 + 50*10 = 600 shirts

Percent value of 600 shirts

  • 600/1000 × 100% = 60%
