At a jeans factory, a random quality check found 8 pairs defective and 292 pairs with no problems. How many defective pairs can be expected in the inventory of 3,000 pairs of jeans?
is the answer 80 jeans?
Y/N
if not, here are the other choices:
82 pairs
292 pairs
375 pairs

Answer 1

Yes, 80 pairs. If you add the 8 pairs back on to 292 it will equal 300. Add a zero to that 300 and the 8, and there's your answer. 80 pairs defective.

Answer 2

`8+292=300`

8 out of 300 were defective.


`(8)/(300)=(x)/(3000) \\ \\ 8*3000=300*x \\ \\ 24000=300x \\ \\ 80=x`

80 pairs were defective
