Part 4/6:
Another practical example involves clothing production. A manufacturer typically produces 5,000 pairs of pants per month but has only completed 3,748 pairs this month. The question asks us to find out how many more pairs are needed to meet the monthly production goal.
The essential data consists of the monthly target (5,000) and the current production (3,748). To find the difference, we subtract:
[
5,000 - 3,748 = 1,252
]
Thus, 1,252 more pairs of pants are required to meet the target production.
