A manufacturing company aims to reduce its energy consumption by at least 10% from the previous year across all its factories. The table below shows the energy consumption (in kWh) for Factory X, Y, and Z for 2022 and 2023. | Factory | 2022 (kWh) | 2023 (kWh) | |---------|------------|------------| | X | 10,000 | 8,800 | | Y | 15,000 | 13,800 | | Z | 8,000 | 7,500 | Which factory (or factories) successfully met the reduction target?
✓ Correct Answer: Option A
Factory X: Target 10,000 * 0.9 = 9,000 kWh. Actual 8,800 kWh (met). Factory Y: Target 15,000 * 0.9 = 13,500 kWh. Actual 13,800 kWh (not met). Factory Z: Target 8,000 * 0.9 = 7,200 kWh. Actual 7,500 kWh (not met).
