Question

A quality control process finds 29.1 defects for every 9,700 units of production. What percent of the production is defective?

Answer 1

Given:

defective units = 29.1

total production = 9,700

Hence:

`\%=(portion)/(total)*100`

substituting values in the formula:

`\%=(29.1)/(9700)*100=0.3\%`

ANSWER

0.3 percent of the production is defective.
