Question
A car manufacturer has increased its use of metal sheet by 1 10from last year. The manufacturer uses 10,000 sheets this year. How many sheets did they produce last year? Round your answer up to the nearest whole sheet.
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to understand that the manufacturer has increased its use of metal sheets by 10% from last year. This means that this year's production (10,000 sheets) is 110% of last year's production.
Step 1: We know that 110% of last year's production is 10,000 sheets.
Step 2: To find 100% (which would be the production of last year), we need to divide 10,000 by 1.10 (which represents the 110%).
Step 3: 10,000 ÷ 1.10 = 9090.91 sheets.
Since we can't have a fraction of a sheet, we round this up to the nearest whole sheet.
So, the manufacturer produced approximately 9091 sheets last year.
