    Good day Sir I am getting 58% not sure how bpp got the 78%

    165 – The total time for the first 16 batches of 100 units was 9,000 hours. What was the actual learning rate closest to (to the nearest %)

    BPP Solution

    9000=16 x 1,500 r4
    9,000/(16 x 1,500)=r4
    r=0.78 or 78%

    My solution 1500+9000=10,500/2=5250
    5250/9000*100=58%

    You need to watch my free lectures on learning curves!!

    The learning curve doubling rule applies to the average time per batch, and the average time per batch when they make 16 batches is 9,000/16 as per the BPP answer.

    9000=16 x (1500 x r4)
    562.5=1500 x r4
    0.375 = r4
    0.78 or 78%
