Question 1147381
.
<pre>
In the first scenario, the rate of work of any one particular artisan is  {{{c/(a*h)}}}  crafts per artisan per hour.


In the second scenario, the rate of work of any one particular artisan is  {{{d/((a-m)*x)}}}  crafts per artisan per hour.


Here "x" is the unknown number under the question.


The rate of work is assumed to be the same in both scenarios. It gives you an equation


    {{{c/(a*h)}}} = {{{d/((a-m)*x)}}}.


From this equation/proportion


    x = {{{(a*h*d)/(c*(a-m))}}}.    <U>ANSWER</U>
