Problem: machine p and machine q are each used to manufacture 770 sprockets . it takes machine p 10 hours longer to produce 770 sprockets than machine q . machine q produces 10 % more sprockets per hour than machine a . how many sprockets per hour does machine a produce ?
Rationale: "p makes x sprockets per hour . then q makes 1.1 x sprockets per hour . 770 / x = 770 / 1.1 x + 10 1.1 ( 770 ) = 770 + 11 x 11 x = 77 x = 7 the answer is c ."
annotated_formula: divide(subtract(770, divide(770, add(divide(10, const_100), const_1))), 10)
