33 1/3 %

of a man’s daily output is equal to 50% of a second man’s daily output. If the second man turns out 1,500 screws daily, then the first man’s output in terms of making screws is:

500
1,000
2,000
2,250

Validate

Solution:

Let the number of screws manufactured = x
According to the statement,

33 1/3 %

of x = 50% of x = 1,500
So,
x -

33 1/3 %

of x = 1500

x - {100}/3 × x/{100}

= 1500

x- x/3

= 1500

{2x}/3

= 1500
x = 1500 ×

3/2

= 2250 screws
