Provide the solution.

Mechanix is a machine shop and a paper
manufacturing plant gave it a P100,000.00 budget
to fabricate a machine part needed for their
preventive maintenance program. There are two
material options, steel, and alloy steel which have
approximately the same weight per item which is
0.36 kg. Steel costs P60.50 per kg and alloy costs P
100 per kg. Two sets of lathe and milling machines
will do the work with their corresponding operators
and each has an operating rate cost of P88.67
per
hour. Utilizing all available sets of machines, steel
can be fabricated at a rate of 20 pieces per hr and
alloy can be done 16 pieces per hr but needs a
special tool with a cost of P2000.00 good for 220
pieces of finished alloy part.
How much is the difference in terms of pcs of
STEEL to that of ALLOY type can be manufactured
by Mechanix, in pcs?
Choose the next whole number say for example,
23.2= 24 pcs or 23.6= 24 pcs
