    The plant would have to work 8.33 hours

    Explanation:

    Initial productivity:

    100 parts were produced in 1 hour

    Percentage increase in productivity = 20%

    New productivity:

    100 + (100 * 0.2) = 100 + 20 = 120

    120 parts would be produced in 1 hour

    Number of hours the plant would have to work to produce 1000 parts = 1000/120 = 8.33 hours
