A young and energetic cobbler fixes 3650 pairs of shoes every year, while an old yet experienced cobbler fixes 20% less than the young cobbler. In a shoe factory there are two old and one young cobblers working together. How many shoes can the factory fix every day assuming that there are 365 days a year?

Validate

Solution:

An old cobbler fixes

0.8 × 3650 = 2920

shoes per year. In the factory there are two old and one young cobbler

→ 3650 + 2920 + 2920 = 9490

shoes per year.

9490

shoes divided by 365 days is 26 shoes per day.
