Jakob Moody · Answer 1

Let the planned number of parts per hour = x

Then the planned number of parts for the day = 8x

By finishing 4 more parts in an hour than was planned (x + 4) he fulfilled his daily task in 6 hours.

So he finished 6 (x + 4) parts that day.

6 (x + 4) = 8x

6x + 24 = 8x

2x = 24

x = 12
