## Task 2 - 030522

In a state-owned enterprise, a certain machine part was produced daily in a quantity of 12 pieces until the end of June. Through the socialist competition, it became possible to produce 2 more pieces daily.

a) How many machine parts of this type are now produced monthly - 26 working days?

b) How many such parts can thus be produced beyond the plan by the end of the year?
a) With 26 working days in a month, and 14 pieces produced each day, this results in: $26 \cdot 14$ pieces $=364$ pieces for the entire month.

b) A half year consists of 6 months. Each day (26 days per month), 2 more pieces are produced than the plan specifies.

Thus, this results in: 6 months $\cdot 26$ days per month $\cdot 2$ pieces per day $=312$ pieces. 312 machine parts are produced over the plan.
