Larry Pena · Answer 1

First, we have to find how many cars the factory can produce in one day:

0.1 (120) + 120 = 132

Knowing this, we simply multiply the daily rate by 5 days:

132*5=660.

The car can now produce 660 cars in 5 days

(Note: if you need to show your work, I suggest writing 5 (120 + 0.1 (120)) To make it quicker and easier.)
