Check your question again.

If P produces production by....


That line is not correct.

Your question is mixed up but your solution starts from P x Q then you expatiate

your a missing a number. Anyway,here is how you solve it:

Calculate the actual number change in production by mutiplying the percentage increase (or decrease) by the total per day for each factory.

Then find the sum of the two numbers (don't forget to include -ve sign if it represents decrease in production).

This will be the answer you are looking for.
