MathJax(?): Can't find handler for document MathJax(?): Can't find handler for document Answer:
B produced 20000 panels
Step-by-step explanation:
Plant A produced fewer panels than Plant B by 5000 A = B 5000 e q 1
A mere 2% of the panels from Plant A and 4% of the panels from Plant B were faulty.
0.02 A + 0.04 B = 1100 e q 2
Solving the two equations:
Put value of A from 1 in 2
0.02 ( B 5000 ) + 0.04 B = 1100 0.06 B 100 = 1100 0.06 B = 1200 B = 20000
