Question. A factory produced televisions at a constant rate of 10 per day in a certain year. If they reduced the total production by 10 percent in the second year, calculate the total production of television by the factory in the second year.
Answer. 3285
What step-by-step reasoning justifies that answer?
Reasoning: Since a year has 365 days, the total television production in the first year is 10 * 365 = 3650. In the second year, they reduced the total television production by 10 / 100 * 3650 = 365. The total television production in the second year was 3650 - 365 = 3285.
