A Cell phone company found that 20 of their 150 phones were defective in May. If they produced 750 phones in June, how many would expect to be defective.

Answer:

100

Explanation:

We can determine the percent of defective phones to non-defective phones by dividing the defective phones by the total phones:


=20/150=0.1333

Therefore 13.33% off the phones will be defective. We can calculated the amount of phones out of 750 that will be defective:


=0.1333\cdot{750}=99.99=100

100 of the 750 phones could be defective
