Question

A factory making soda bottles ends up with 186 usable bottles out of 200 made. The rest of the

bottles have scratches or cracks. What is the percent of error in the bottling process? Show all of
your work to justify your answer.
Hint-percent error- the percent of bottles with scratches or cracks.

Answer 1

7 %

Explanation:

See how many have scratches or cracks.

200-186=14

Turn that into a fraction of the total

14/200

Simplify the fraction until the total is 100.

14/200, divide both sides by 2 to get 7/100.

Percent is part of a hundred so 7 percent is the answer.

Answer 2

it is 7 percent of error in the process
