    540 good parts were produced yesterday

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

    Machine's error rate = 10% or 0.1

    Hourly production of the machine = 30 parts

    Number of hours the machine was shut down yesterday = 4 hours

    2. How many good parts did it produce yesterday?

    For answering this question, we will make the following calculation:

    Yesterday's good production = (Total hours the machine works * Hourly production of the machine) - (Total hours the machine works * Hourly production of the machine * Machine's error rate)

    Replacing with the real values, we have:

    Yesterday's good production = (20 * 30) - (20 * 30 * 0.1)

    Yesterday's good production = 600 - 60

    Yesterday's good production = 540 parts
