Question

A shoe company found that 4.25% of the production is defective. The company

made 28,000 pairs of shoes. How many pairs of shoes were defective?​

Answer 1

1190 pairs of shoes are defective

Solution:

Given that shoe company found that 4.25% of the production is defective

The company made 28,000 pairs of shoes

To find: Number of pairs of defective shoes

From given information, 4.25% of the production is defective which means 4.25% of 28,000 pairs of shoes

Defective shoes = 4.25% of 28,000

Defective shoes
`= (4.25)/(100) * 28000`

Defective shoes
`= 4.25 * 280 = 1190`

Thus 1190 pairs of shoes were defective
