Answer to Problem 21A

Date 9/16:

Rework percentage is 2.7%.

Scrap percentage is 3.6%.

Date 9/17:

Rework percentage is 1.8%.

Scrap percentage is 3.0%.

Date 9/18:

Rework percentage is 3.1%.

Scrap percentage is 2.0%.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Below table shows the total pieces manufactured along with rework and scrap defective pieces.

  Mathematics For Machine Technology, Chapter 24, Problem 21A , additional homework tip  1

Calculation:

We have been given a table with details of total pieces manufactured along with defective pieces.

  Mathematics For Machine Technology, Chapter 24, Problem 21A , additional homework tip  2

Now we need to find the individual defect percentage for each day. Total pieces manufactured will be base and number of defective pieces will be percentage.

As we know the proportion to find percentage is given as

  PB=R100   where, P=percentage, B= base and R=rate

Date 9/16:

Rework piece =44 i.e. P=44 and total manufactured piece =1650 i.e. B=1650.

Putting these value in standard proportion,

  PB=R100441650=R100                           {Put B=1650 and P=44}Applying cross multiplication,1650R=44×100R=44×1001650R=2.6667R=2.7                                   {Rounding off to 1 decimal places}

Hence, the rework percentage is 2.7%.

Similarly, scrap piece =59 i.e. P=59 and total manufactured piece =1650 i.e. B=1650.

Putting these value in standard proportion,

  PB=R100591650=R100                           {Put B=1650 and P=59}Applying cross multiplication,1650R=59×100R=59×1001650R=3.575757R=3.6                                   {Rounding off to 1 decimal places}

Hence, the scrap percentage is 3.6%.

Date 9/17:

Rework piece =29 i.e. P=29 and total manufactured piece =1596 i.e. B=1596.

Putting these value in standard proportion,

  PB=R100291596=R100                           {Put B=1596 and P=29}Applying cross multiplication,1596R=29×100R=29×1001596R=1.81704R=1.8                                   {Rounding off to 1 decimal places}

Hence, the rework percentage is 1.8%.

Similarly, scrap piece =48 i.e. P=48 and total manufactured piece =1596 i.e. B=1596.

Putting these value in standard proportion,

  PB=R100481596=R100                           {Put B=1596 and P=48}Applying cross multiplication,1596R=48×100R=48×1001596R=3.0075R=3.0                                   {Rounding off to 1 decimal places}

Hence, the scrap percentage is 3.0%.

Date 9/18:

Rework piece =52 i.e. P=52 and total manufactured piece =1685 i.e. B=1685.

Putting these value in standard proportion,

  PB=R100521685=R100                           {Put B=1685 and P=52}Applying cross multiplication,1685R=52×100R=52×1001685R=3.08605R=3.1                                   {Rounding off to 1 decimal places}

Hence, the rework percentage is 3.1%.

Similarly, scrap piece =34 i.e. P=34 and total manufactured piece =1685 i.e. B=1685.

Putting these value in standard proportion,

  PB=R100341685=R100                           {Put B=1685 and P=34}Applying cross multiplication,1685R=34×100R=34×1001685R=2.01750R=2.0                                   {Rounding off to 1 decimal places}

Hence, the scrap percentage is 2.0%.

Thus,

Date 9/16:

Rework percentage is 2.7%.

Scrap percentage is 3.6%.

Date 9/17:

Rework percentage is 1.8%.

Scrap percentage is 3.0%.

Date 9/18:

Rework percentage is 3.1%.

Scrap percentage is 2.0%.
