\n" ); document.write( "A small factory planned to produce a batch of men’s shirts in 8 days. But producing 10 more shirts per day than planned, they finished the task one day early. How many shirts per day was the factory planning to produce.
\n" ); document.write( "

Let original number of shirts to produce, per day, be S
\n" );
document.write( "Then number of shirts to be produced in 8 days = 8S
\n" );
document.write( "Producing 10 more shirts, per day, results in S + 10 shirts, per day
\n" );
document.write( "Finishing 1 day early means that it took 7 (8 – 1) days to produce 8S shirts
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 7(S + 10) = 8S
\n" );
document.write( "7S + 70 = 8S
\n" );
document.write( "70 = 8S – 7S
\n" );
document.write( "S, or number it’d planned to produce =  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
