    6 days a week ... 15 necklaces per day ... 18 per necklace

    6 * 15 * 18 = 1620 for a 6 day workweek

    6 days a week ... x necklaces per day ... 10 per necklace ... makes 1620

    10x = 1620

    x = 1620/10

    x = 162 ... 162 necklaces for a 6 day work week

    162/6 = 27 ... she should make 27 per day ... so she should increase by (27 - 15) = 12 per day
