Hello,

Just wanted to give your question a try...

Number of units that competition makes: 1230 units x 140% (or 1.4) = 1722 units

Since Acme Manufacturing makes 140% of its competition, Acme Manufacturing must make 1722 units.

One thing I ask that you double-check is that your word problem doesn't say that **Acme Manufacturing's daily production of widgets is 140% *MORE* than its competition's.** If the word MORE is in your problem, then the answer I provided you with would not be correct.

Good luck! --Sarah
