Question

a small computer company runs four manufacturing plants, each of which produces two models of computer laser printers: model a and model b. the double bar graph below shows the number of printers of each model produced during the last year. use this graph to answer the questions. (a) estimate the number of model a printers produced at the westside plant. (b) which plants produced more model a printers than model b printers? check all that apply. (c) which plant produced the most printers total?

Explanation:

Step1: Estimate Model A printers at Westside

Looking at the bar graph for Westside (orange bar for Model A), it is at 450.

Step2: Check plants with more Model A than B

For Beach: Model A (300) < Model B (350). For Eastside: Model A (550) > Model B (500). For Pineview: Model A (500) > Model B (450). For Westside: Model A (450) < Model B (400).

Step3: Calculate total printers per plant

Beach: \(300 + 350=650\). Eastside: \(550 + 500 = 1050\). Pineview: \(500+450 = 950\). Westside: \(450+400=850\).

Answer:

(a) 450
(b) Eastside, Pineview
(c) Eastside
