Rate x Time = Output
At first,
R%5B1%5D%2A8=N
However with the rate increase,
%28R%5B1%5D%2B1%29%2A7=N
They both equal N so set them equal to each other,
R%5B1%5D%2A8=%28R%5B1%5D%2B1%297
8R%5B1%5D=7R%5B1%5D%2B7
R%5B1%5D=7
So then,
N=7%2A8
N=56

8R%5B1%5D=7R%5B1%5D%2B70
R%5B1%5D=70
So then,
N=70%2A8
N=560

Answer. How many shirts per day was the factory planning to produce? 70.
