Answer: 510 flights are expected to arrive on time.

Explanation:

Given : There is an 85% chance that a flight on Bandway Airlines will arrive on time.

which can be written as 0.85 . [To convert percentage into decimal we divide it by 100.]

The total number of flights = 600

Then, the number of flights are expected to arrive on time will be :-

=Chances of flight arrive on time × Total flights


=0.85*600=510

Hence, 510 flights are expected to arrive on time.
