Here's what I get
In a 10 day period....the company produces 2 pipes per day
In a 12 day period before the fuel increase, the company would produce 2 (10/12) = 2 (5/6) =10/6 = 5/3 pipes per day
Note that 12 days * ( 5/3) pipes per day = 60 / 3 = 20 pipes
So now, after the fuel increase the number of pipes produced per day = (5/3)([700 + 500 ] /700) =
(5/3)(1200/ 700) = (5/3)(12/7)= 60/21 = 20 / 7 pipes per day
So in 12 days, the company now produces 12 (60/21) = (3/7)(60)= 180 / 7 = 25.7 pipes = 25 pipes
