Let x denote the number of quantities "shift 2" actually produce.
Therefore, "shift day" produces 4x quantities.
Total production = 5,500 cars
=>

X=1100
Hence, shift 2" produced 1,100 cars and "shift day" produced 4,400 cars this month.
Verification:
Shift day: Qty=4400 cars (4 times the qty of shift 2)
Shift 2: Qty=1100 cars
Total= 4400 + 1100 = 5,500 cars produced
