Answer 2

11.76 % of the toy robots are defective.

Explanation:

Formula

`Percentage = (Part\ value* 100)/(Total\ value)`

As given

On a factory floor, 20 out of every 170 toy robots is defective.

Part value = 20

Total value = 170

Put in the formula

`Percentage = (20* 100)/(170)`

`Percentage = (2000)/(170)`

Percentage = 11.76 %

Therefore the 11.76 % of the toy robots are defective.
