Assume Argentina has production possibilities to produce either 35 batches of apples or 70 batches of peaches using 100 worker hours. If it chooses to produce 15 batches of apples, how many batches of peaches can it produce

Respuesta :

Answer:

40

Explanation:

Batches of apples produced in one hour = 35/100 = 0.35

Batches of peaches produced in one hour = 70/100 = 0.70

total hours it would take to produce 15 batches of apples = 15 / 0.35 = 42.86 =  43 hours

this would leave (100 - 43) 57 hours to make peaches

Batches of peaches that can be made in 43 hours = 57 x 0.7 = 39.9 = 40 batches
