Answer the following question, with explanation first.
John has 2 hives of bees. One of the hives has 1000 bees and produces 500 liters of honey. The second has 20% fewer bees but each bee produces 40% more honey. How much honey does he produce?

2460
The second hive has 20 / 100 * 1000 = 200 fewer bees.

This translates to 1000 - 200 = 800 bees.

Each bee in the first hive produces 1000 / 500 = 2 liters.

The second hive has bees each producing 1.

4 * 2 = 2.

8 liters.

The total amount of honey produces by the bees in the second hive is 2.

8 * 700 = 1960.

The total honey produced is 1960 + 500 = 2460 liters.

.

Final answer: 2460
