<PRE><B>Question 277608</B>
Company INC is making baseball gloves. Last month, with 60 workers, they made 1000 gloves. If they hire 15 more workers this month, how many gloves can be made at the same rate? What would my equation look like to solve this?
------------------------
60 workers made 1000 gloves
75 workers is 60*1.25
1.25 times as many workers will make 1.25 times as many gloves
1000*1.25 = 1250 gloves
---------------------------
You can set up a proportion
60:1000::75:g
60g = 75000
g = 75000/60
g = 1250 gloves

The other tutor calculated the output for 15 workers, not for 15 MORE workers.
