This year, a company produced 8 percent more items than last year. if the company produced 243 items this year, how many items did the company produce last year?

Last year company produce 225 items

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of items produced last year be x

Here we are asked to find the percent increase in the production of the items from last year

The production for the current year = 243

Total increased production =243-x

Hence percentage calculation = %

Increased percentage = %

Percentage increased = 8 %

Hence

x=225

Hence Last year production was 225 items
