In October, we want to produce 30000 units and 30% of Novembers sales; Hence, we will produce 30000+10800 units, of which 10800 will be used for the November sales. In November, we already have 10800 units. We need to sell 36000 and then have also 30% of December sales; 30%*34000=10200. Hence, The total number of mugs needed in November is 36000+10200=46200. However, 10800 are already available from October, hence in November we produce only 46200-10800=35400.
