Answer:

The amount of phones that were not defective is 98% or 49/50 as a fraction in simplest form

Explanation:

Steps to solve "what percent is 100 of 5000?"

100 of 5000 can be written as:

100/5000

To find percentage, we need to find an equivalent fraction with denominator 100. Multiply both numerator & denominator by 100

100

5000

×

100

100

= (

100 × 100

5000

) ×

1

100

=

2

100

Therefore, the answer is 2%

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 100÷5000×100 which will give you 2 as the answer. That lets you know how many were defective

If only 2% were defective, then 98% were not
