Question

Harmon's Jewelry Store receives a shipment

of 500 jewelry pieces, but 15 pieces are
damaged. At this rate, if Mrs. Harmon places
an order for 5,500 jewelry pieces, how many
should she expect to be damaged?

Answer 1

165 jewelry pieces damaged.

Explanation:

15/500 are damaged and we are multiplying 500 by 11 to get 5,500. So we can multiply 15 by 11 as well.

15 x 11 = 165
