If A is the total material to be used, this means:A – 10%A = 1.4 0.9A=1.4 A=1.4/.9 = 1.56thus total material used = 1.56 x 20200 = 31,512 June 2, 2015 at 5:14 pm #252007 OfeliaMemberTopics: 0Replies: 1☆Any one of you have more questions like this that can be posted so I can get a better understanding of this topic.AuthorPostsViewing 3 posts - 1 through 3 (of 3 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
