Question

I really need help!! Thank you in advance!!! No links! ;w;

Harmon’s Jewelry Store receives a shipment of jewelry. 485 pieces are good but 15 pieces arrived damaged. At this rate, if Mrs. Harmon places an order of 5,500 jewelry pieces, how many can she expect to be damaged?

Answer 1

hope this helps

Explanation:

first you divide 5,500 by 485(5,500/485), then you will get 11.34, and since you cannot buy half of something, you will have to round down to 11. then you multiply 11 by 15 (11 X 15) and you will get 165, so then you go back and subtract 165 from 5,500 (5,500-165) and there is your answer (5335).

Answer:

the answer is 5335.
