Two factory plants are making TV panels. Yesterday, Plant A produced 6000 panels. Two percent of the panels from Plant A and 6% of the panels from Plant B were defective. How many panels did Plant B produce, if the overall percentage of defective panels from the two plants was 3%?

The equation becomes .02(A) +.06(B) = .03(A+B) where A is the number of Panels produced from Factory A and similarly for B. Hope that helps.

I got B to be equal to 2000 Panels
