Question

a catalog store has 6% of its orders returned for a refund the owner predicts that a new candle will have 812 returns out of the 16824 sold do you agree with this predection? explain

Answer 1

6% percent of 16842 is 1009.44. The predicted amount is 812. This is a reasonable estimation, so I agree with the prediction.

Answer 2

No, because the 6% of the 16824 candles is 1009.20 and the owner didn't do anything, his math was way off
