    For the answer to the question above,

    Let Worker 1 produces x parts

    Let Worker 2 produces x+0.15x parts (0.15x is 15% of x)

    Let us make the equation

    x+x+0.15x=86

    You can solve that for x, which will be the number of parts worker 1 produces

    x=40

    now we can solve for what worker 2 produces

    40+0.15 (40) = 46 (**since there are two workers, you could also just subtract the parts produced by worker 1 from the total number)

    Therefore,

    worker 1 = 40 parts

    worker 2 = 46 parts
