Answer 2

75

Explanation:

Given : In beanbags

4 Cuts in upholstery

15 are Understuffed

None 267

Total 300

To Find : If the manufacturer makes 1500 beanbag chairs per day, how many of those chairs would they expect to be understuffed?

Solution :

We are given that out of total of 300 bags there are 15 understuffed

Let x be the no. of understuffed bean bags out of total of 1500.

⇒
`(15)/(300) =(x)/(1500)`

⇒
`(15*1500)/(300) =x`

⇒
`75=x`

Thus If the manufacturer makes 1500 beanbag chairs per day, 75 of those chairs would they expect to be understuffed .
