Question

A factory produced a batch of handheld video games, but 4% of the games were found to be defective. If the batch had 250 games in all, how many games in the batch were not defective?

Answer 1

250 x 96% (good games) = 240

Answer 2

240 video games were not defective in the video game .

Explanation:

Formula

`Percentage =(Part\ value* 100)/(Total\ value)`

As given

A factory produced a batch of handheld video games, but 4% of the games were found to be defective.

If the batch had 250 games in all .

Percentage = 4%

Total value = 250

Put all the values in the formula

`4 =(Part\ value* 100)/(250)`

`Part\ value =(4* 250)/(100)`

`Part\ value =(1000)/(100)`

Part value = 10

This means number of video games to be defective in the batch are 10 .

Thus

Number of video games in the batch were not defective= Total number of video games in the batch - Number of defective video games in the batch .

Put all the values in the formula

Number of video games in the batch were not defective= 250 - 10

= 240

Therefore 240 video games were not defective in the video game .
