A tailor must make 6 of the same size suits for a client. The first suit took 14.7 hours to make and the last suit took 7.9 hours to make. What was the tailor\'s learning curve % of this run of suits assuming a steady state of production is never reached? Express your answer in % to the nearest 0.1%

Solution

Learning curve L = (T₂ / T₁ ) X 100

T₂ = Time taken to make the last suit

T₁ = Time taken to make the first suit

Tailors learning curve = (7.90 / 14.70) X 100

Learning curve = 53.74 %
