Answer 1

To find the percentage of parts sold that are part number Q754362, we sum the total parts sold and then divide the number of Q754362 parts sold by this total, multiplying by 100 to get the percentage, which is approximately 26.62%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question pertains to calculating the percentage of total parts sold that belong to a specific part number, in this case, Q754362. To compute this, we need to follow these steps:

1. First, we need to add up the total number of parts sold for all part numbers to find the grand total.
2. Then, we take the number of parts sold for the specific part number Q754362 and divide it by the grand total.
3. Finally, we multiply the resulting fraction by 100 to convert it to a percentage.

Using the numbers provided:
120,750 (A056284) + 254,860 (B057305) + 184,340 (P183456) + 290,520 (F284203) + 308,205 (Q754362) = 1,158,675 (Total Parts Sold)

Then we calculate the percentage for part number Q754362:

(308,205 / 1,158,675) * 100 ≈ 26.62%

Therefore, approximately 26.62% of the parts sold in May were part number Q754362.
